Everyday,when I pass by this pave going to work,kids of different ages run over me and then beg for some money.So I generously grab my pocket and share to them what I have.More often that not,I only give these kids coins or 1 peso.Some will say thank you,others will run away and buy something in the nearest makeshift store in the area.You see,I used to live here in the slums,where you see poverty face to face daily,where life is easy to bear but lifestyle is hard to deal.Families are knitted together and seen as one big happy gathering of sorts,young and old enjoying the bliss of nothingness.Future for them is nil.Success for them is dim.Hope for them is meaningless.Only Faith in the Higher Power remains in them that one day in their lives,benedictions will be laid upon them in bronze platter.
So these children that once strangers to me,become my instant friends.And I can see happiness in their eyes every time I pass by their area.They don't know my name,so they are to me.They fondly called me "Kuya-Peso" or "Big Brother Peso",which I smiled back to them in amusement.Before I give them coins I told them "I want you all to behave,so that I will give you more the next time". They will just smile and nod in agreement.I am always praying to God that I am already a true millionaire,so I can give in full abundance to these little friends of mine.A coin is of little value for me,but for these kids it's already a big benison for them because even their parents cannot give them,instead I heard one of them scold her child asking for coin.I really pity that kid so I get out of my room and give him child 2 pesos.And the kid wipe his tears and gratify me and then he shoo away.His mom look at me and simply nod her head and then gave me a grin.
This is I practice daily,to give to the needy.The Law of the Universe for us to succeed is only 3---practice the Law of Giving,Law of Forgiving and Law of Gratifying without expecting immediate returns.The Universe will only repay us if our conscience is placid,if our intentions is clear! GIVE,FORGIVE and GRATIFY!
