Yes, a nice one @AJRobo

A nice story, but I worry it only creates what's seen again, while there are many stories unseen, who need to be told. We hopefully come to a time in life, where those in need of help, are taken care of to the point these stories no longer exist.

@scorpiolovedeep I wasn't trying to be downtrodden on your words, or what you saw. I just sometimes feel these stories leave people with happy thoughts that don't see beyond, nothing more. Charity is wonderful, but teaching a person how to fish is better. My ex's mother was homeless at one time, and I could learn from her gratitude too.

All good.
I just feel we don't pause enough in our busy lives to appreciate the little things and have gratitude in general.

@scorpiolovedeep No, we don't give pause enough. I'll share a sad story, as I feel you will listen, I've done my time without pausing. I remember leaving a bar at 2am one night, finding fun in company, obviously drunk too - and the one young girl wanted to give money to the homeless man. That part is fine. She was leaving only a dollar, while he slept in minus 20 weather on the street. She wanted to wake him, to make him say, thank you. Her boyfriend whisked her away, even though he didn't see the need to give, but was very right, do not disturb the man. I only felt gratitude, in knowing, not to go back where I was invited. And since the story includes all walks of life, you just have to trust your gut.
