Title: Compassion Transforms
One afternoon, I went for a walk with a friend in the suburbs.
Suddenly, an old man in tattered clothes approached us with
a bag of green vegetables in his hand.
The sales of those vegetables on that day were very poor,
the leaves seemed dehydrated and yellowish and there were holes in them
as if bitten by insects.
But my friend bought three bags without saying a word.
The old man also embarrassed.
He explained: "I grew these vegetables myself.
It rained a while ago, and the vegetables were soaked.
They look ugly. I'm sorry."
After the old man left, I asked my friend:
"Will you really cook these when you go home?"
He didn't want to say No to me. "These vegetables can no longer be eaten."
"Then why did you take the trouble of buying them?" I asked.
He replied,"Because it is impossible for anyone to buy those vegetables.
If I don't buy it, the old man will probably have no income for today."
I admired my friend's thoughtfulness and concern.
So I caught up with the old man and bought some vegetables from him.
The old man said very happily,
"I tried to sell them the whole day , but no one was ready to buy them.
I am so happy that you both were willing to buy from me. .
Thank you so much."
Several handfuls of green vegetables that I can't eat at all taught me
a valuable lesson.
When we are in a low ebb, we all hope that miracles will happen to us;
but when we are capable, are we willing to create miracles?
People become successful only when their dreams are fulfilled.
They become more successful because of their compassionate deeds.
You become transformed when you are willing to learn to be
compassionate to others..
