A woman asked this man
How much are you selling those eggs for?
The old seller replied, $.25 an egg, Madam.
She said to him, I will take 6 eggs for $1.25 or I will leave.
The old seller replied, Come take them at the price you want.
Maybe, this is a good beginning because I have not been able to sell even a single egg today.

She took the eggs and walked away feeling she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend. There, she and her friend, ordered whatever they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill was $45.00, She gave $50.00 and asked the owner of the restaurant to keep the change.

This incident might have seemed quite normal to the owner but, very painful to the poor egg seller.

Here is the point,
why do ignorant people want to show their power over the poor and those who are in need.
And are so generous to those who do not even need their generosity?

My father used to buy simple goods from the needy and poor people every chance he could.
even though he did not need those items. Sometimes he would even pay extra for them.
When I was a child I asked my Father, why do you do that?
My father replied, "It is charity wrapped with dignity, my child”

Spreading love and simple acts of kindness can make a difference in other peoples lives more than we can ever imagine.
By being kind, we have the power of making the world a happier place in which to live, or at the very least we greatly diminish the amount of unhappiness in it.

Joy can be real only if people look upon their lives as a service and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness. There is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a difference in someone's life.

Go out and make a difference in your community. You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating with compassion for all.
