Be human. Be loved.

Everytime I'm travelling, be it a long journey or just a trip to supermarket or a walk down to the nearby convinient store, I always observe other people. I glued my eyes to outside happenings. Actually, It's a habit of mine that somehow, would annoy others if they found out that I'm reading their ways as if they are tiny organisms subject for analysis in the microscope.

So last night, I was riding in a public coaster bound to Juangjing Road where my apartment is located. The traffic light was red at that time so I have a clearer,longer view of what was happening on the street.

There was a man who is holding flyers trying to distribute to strangers who are coming from the other side of the road. He was quite excited to hand out the flyers maybe because he has been standing there for quite a while (or for hours) and maybe, the only thing in his mind was to have the flyers run out and head home to his family or friends.

Nevertheless, from the five or so who walked past through where the man was located, No one did not even looked at the man. One was busy talking on his cellphone. There were two women whom he actually go after because he didn't caught their presence before but sad to say, the women refused to take the flyers. To cut story short, the man was not able to hand out a damn flyer - not even one.

To you, this situation is normal. Honestly, I think it is only natural for this type of things happen. It his job we might say and we can't force other people to take those flyers just for the sake of.

Actually, I feel annoyed everytime people tries to hand me out some flyers. Who doesn't? From the thousands or millions of flyers being hand out in the street, consider yourself lucky if you have at least one from these that you could be interested in. From these flyers, how many are for real and how many which are not?

But my emotions are toying with me every now and then. Maybe it is one of my soft side. At that time, I pity the man.

I imagined myself handing out those flyers. Standing still in one area, with hundreds of flyers in one hand and a piece on the other, and a smile ready to share, excited because there are crowds coming in, thinking and hoping that I hand out all the flyers soon and just head back home - It felt sad.

Once again, we point out that it is his job. Point considered. But, can we at least "be human" enough to refuse by giving a slight smile or a little gesture of refusal and NOT JUST WALK PAST THROUGH THE MAN AND ACT AS IF HE DOESN'T EXIST!

We should consider ourself lucky because at least we have jobs which are, shall we say decent enough compared to the "just his job" of the poor man. Try to be in his shoes. All he did was trying to finish his job and it is just correct to give him a little consideration.

Being ignored is one of the worst feeling a person can experience. A little attention would make a person smile. A little attention could mean a little compassion and little love altogether.
