Be Nice

Hi everyone. The globe is faced with this thing called Covid-19, and because of that we are all asked to keep social distance from people, wash your hands regularly and be hygienic. But has anyone thought about the homeless, the orphans who do not have anyone to look up to except total strangers that they're forced to like? Have you thought about thoes who do not have three square meals the way some people do? Have you thought of thoes who are actually sick of this disease and have lost their lives? Have your thought of the families that have lost their relatives as a result of this deadly disease?Some are still currently in terrible pains and have no idea of when they will get out of it. Have you thought of them? What about thoes in the prison who do not even know why they are there and have been awaiting trial for several years for a crime they never commited. Some have been sick in the prison with no good medical attention and care and as a result lost their lives. Now the BIG QUESTION is How Are You Impacting Into Their World. The message is BE NICE. Not everyone have the opportunity you have, not everyone that smiles is really happy. A lot are going through serious challenges and do not know when and how they can ever come out of it, but all they do is smile to feel good and give themselves some level of hope that alls well even though it's the opposite. I want to share two different events that happened sometimes. The first was a woman on the street with a little girl several years back. she was always sitting at a corner with an old umbrella and her little girl of about 1year 6months old. Each time I step out very early in the morning, I do not see her, but when am on my way back home I will always meet her there. I felt I could help her in my own little way so I packed some things together for her. The day I had the intention of giving her what I intended to give, she wasn't there. Ouch, I really felt bad. I tried the following day and it was like I had lost my opportunity to be nice to someone because she wasn't there either. My heart really bleed for the fact that I had an opportunity and was ready to help but she wasn't there to receive what I had to give her. One faithful day, on my way back from work ,boooom, I met her and her little girl, under the old umbrella as usual, looking really sad and unhappy, and guess what...? You are right, I was so glad to see her. Giving her the package was another challenge for me because I didn't know her mental state. I had to stand at a distance and stretch the package to her. Her expression didn't tell if she was happy I gave her anything or sad. She just looked the same- indifferent, but I was supper grateful I was able to help a living being. The second instance was of a young boy I saw, also on the street. He was always bare feet. I felt for his feet that was always looking very dirty and unkept. So I got a pair of flip flop for him. Lo and behold, as soon as I gave them to him, he rejected them and I was like reallllyyy, seriouslllyyy. Wow! He felt comfortable walking around with nothing on his legs. Then i thought to myself that's the way of like. Some like good things and others are probably comfortable with their present predicament. But whatever the situation you find be, please try and be nice. Let's be nice to ourselves first by eating good balanced diet, look good, dress nice, bath daily, brush your teeth daily, keep your hair and nails clean and presentable. Then we can have room for others. Let's value others. No one is useless, no one is ugly. Everyone is beautiful, handsome and very useful.
