Long day at works. One story from today; Went to get my lunch bread from local kiosk/shop. There was one guy before me, clearly intoxicated and smelling like a sewer. The sales woman was covering her nose under her shirt as she angrily tried to shoo poor guy from the door, who was also trying to buy something to eat. After observing the situation for awhile, man being totally calm (albelt looking like was dragged from a ditch) and trying to pay his bread, but he was short of few zlotys and the clerk was mercilecly showing the door and told teenagers who entered the shop to hold the door open so she could push him out, teenagers started laughin and hold the door, but then I decided to ask in my poor Polish how much he was short and when she angrily said the sum, I handed the money and man was muttering thanks and then he walked out of the door to smoke a cigarette while clerk started warming up the bread. The shift in teenagers and clerks expression face was suddenly changed into more thinking tone. I was just thinking where is the compassion from people, as noone possibly knows the story of why he was in that condition, my impression of him was that he was sad and not violent man, taken to trenches by this merciless universe of mankind. Maybe he had lost wife or something and decided to deal the only so many man know; Drinking himself to death. Noone really wants to choose that kind of path, but some just know other way to deal sorrow, but the path is laid there by our own nature. When I walked away from the shop I knew I had done the right thing and showed also some example for youngsters something they can follow. Make your actions matter and base them on good, it's the only hope for mankind in long run. And of course I feel fuckin proud of myself, few zlotys to maybe eventually to even save a life. Think about that. Man was shouting and behind me and crossing his hands like to pray. I hope he does from now on.
