Good afternoon community of steemit, this time I want to show you a story that captivated me, impressed me. I hope you can learn from it, sometimes we humans live from appearances and what they will say! and it is not the idea that we are more humble people, there is a saying that says: "to whom you take away sooner or later life will take away the double and what you give God will multiply it".
- The woman asked: How much are you selling the eggs?
- The old salesman answered: $ 100 for the egg, ma'am.
- She said: I'll take 6 eggs for $ 500 or I'll go. "
- The old salesman replied: Okay, lady, take them at the price you want. It could be that this is a good start, because today I have not been able to sell a single egg.
- She took the eggs and left feeling that she had won. He got into his car and went to an elegant restaurant with a friend.
There, she and her friend ordered the letter, what they liked the most. They ate a little and left much of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The invoice cost him $ 38,000. She gave $ 40,000 and asked the owner of the restaurant to keep the change.
This incident might have seemed quite normal for the owner but, very painful for the poor and elderly egg seller.
The question is:
Why do we always show that we have power when we buy from the needy? And why are we so generous to those who do not even need our generosity? Why do we like to live so much from appearances?
Have I ever read somewhere:
My father used to buy simple products from the poor at high prices, although he did not need them. Sometimes I used to pay them more.
I worried about this act and asked him why he was doing it. Then my father replied: "It is a charity wrapped in dignity, my son".
