One random encounter that really stuck with me was when I came across a homeless man asking for help. He looked tired, hungry, and worn down by life, yet there was a quiet strength in his eyes. I stopped to talk to him, listened to a bit of his story, and it deeply moved me.
In that moment, I realized how truly lucky and blessed I am to have a roof over my head, food on my table, and the comforts of life I often take for granted.
I gave him some money and bought him a meal—not because I thought it would change his whole life, but because I hoped it would help him survive that day. That encounter reminded me that life can be so different for each of us.
It’s not about being rich or poor—it’s about having compassion and love for one another. Money can help, but kindness, empathy, and human connection are what truly make the world better. That simple act made me more grateful and more aware of the kind of person I want to be.
