hi, it's me again, back!
yesterday, i went to one of the largest city malls, City Stars, with all its shops & all the entertainment u can find. i had the best coffee , saw a movie, wandered in bookshops, ate Chinese food, & heard the most heart catching piano playing. i knew i was lucky to b there that day coz everything was going perfect.
to make my joy complete, there was a promotional event for some dairy product , they were giving huge numbers of red helium balloons, sitting in the food court, i could see all kids going around with the balloons, & nagging their parents to get them balloons, it was really joyful.
though i know i may b too old for this, but i insisted that i gotta have a balloon too, & the kid inside me showed up & did some nagging to my dad, we went to the balloons booth & took the dairy product & ate... waited.. waited ... & yes, there came the balloons & they gave me one!
there were a lot of people waiting in lines to get balloons, not only kids, or parents, but elder youth, women, girls & guys rushing for the balloons, all rushing for the happiness & apparently victory it gave walking around with ur red balloon raised high!
on my way out to my car,with all the kids & people coming out with their balloons, i found a poor little girl, sitting by the mall's gate, in the street, selling paper tissues, living on little pounds or piasters given to her by one every hundred or thousand of thousands passing by her everyday.. passing by the mall & spending much money on things they don't necessarily need, paying over valued prices for worthless stuff!
she was a child.. she looked sad .. sat in a sad weak posture.. she had no balloon.
she couldn't have one.
she can't even enter this mall.
i passed her by, & then i wanted to give her my balloon, i thought it could have made her feel happy, feel some of the joy my childish red balloon brought me, she's a child, all children love balloons..i felt a lot like wanna turn back to her & give her the balloon.
but i didn't.
i just walked away.. wondering.
along with daily & hourly rush.. rushing for everything & swept away by everything, having time for nothing..i thought, this poor little really deserves the balloon. she deserves to play, & have fun, actually have the luxury to play & get toys & things like all children do.
she couldn't have it... Does this make life unfair ??
no matter what the answer is.. i think life is not always "fair" , i believe that Allah (God) is fair.. we just can't mind it with our minds all the time!
Only Allah (God) knows how much luck , happiness, chances, love, joy , blessings ,......... she can get.. feel ..live .. & enjoy.
about me.. i just passed her by.. may be that wasn't all i could/ should do.. but it was all i did !
