I met two persons
I met two persons
First opposite Center point mall , frail and old lady with Kyphosis - that make spine curve making hump on her back - . She was dragging big plastic bag that housed all small plastic carry bags . She dragged it till Zebra Crossing when it was about to become red . I watched her and so did Driver of the bus . A thought flashed my mind if I could help her cross the street . But decided it against . She appeared to take pride in her work and being what she is . Offering help to her would mean insult to her dignity .
On my return at the signal of Plaza Singapura , saw a mid aged athletic man using white guiding stick crossing the road at zebra crossing . He navigated past bollards but deviated a bit while crossing . His guiding stick helped to climb the footpath . Once again I watched him with admiration . No one around him helped but I am sure he was being watched by others .
How beautiful is to watch people live with a nourishing sense of gentle dignity by being honest with their impairments yet be kind to themselves and toward others. And so are us who have bestowed with robust physical and mental faculties respecting these special proper and life in all its forms.
