The Feeling of Commiseration Doesn't Belong to All Men

Few days ago, I went to a cafe nearby my house as usual. Before I went into it, I noticed there was a man staggering on the sidewalk. When I took a closer look I found out that he was selling tissue papers in order to make ends meet. Obviously, he is both physically and mentally challenged. I was touched deeply at that time since he didn't give up upon himself even with such unfair condition that god has given him, and he still works hard to live. I wanted to help him, but when I fished my wallet out there was non a penny inside. I stood there for a while thinking that if a man with such inconvenience can hold on and keep living his life, then I can do it as well though I have been through a mess recently. Compared to him, what I encountered was nothing worthy of mentioning. 

I thought that people walked by might encouraged him by buying one or two of his merchandises. However, after half an hour had passed, the number of tissue paper on his trembling hands remained the same. I know that people have no responsibilities to buy things they don't need, but what surprised me was that these people were heartless. Non of them had given him a glimpse, and all of them just perceived him as "Air ". In the society nowadays, such implacability may simply just to disguise shyness or distrust. Nonetheless, it was ridiculous that no people would want to interact with him even rejected him, and they just pretended nothing had happened.

I always have a notion to create a world of peace and warmness, and I suggest that even a scoundrel would reveal his kindness when seeing people in need. After that day, my dream has vanished. I do have hope to this world no matter how much disappointment I have suffered from it, but this time I am truly giving up. I mean it. I swear I am going to work harder and try as best as I can, I must win success and recognition, and I must have wealth and power. In this way, I am able to let people who tend to treat them coldly taste the bitterness within, and help those who are struggling for places to sleep, for food to eat, and for love to care. I won't count on anyone to change this world anymore, I will and I can to reshape the world to a paradise that I am seeking of.
