Speechless!!

Actions are based on your parents, teachers’ teachings or what you chose yourselves depending upon the situations.

But, what are those situations which arise governing your actions. Is it poverty, lack of awareness, illiteracy or anything else? Till now I always used to think that our actions are governed by situations which arise in our lives. As a result sometimes we take a wrong path forgetting our morals, killing our consciousness.

The maximum criminal cases in America are done by blacks, not because it runs in their blood but for the need to survive. I felt poverty and illiteracy (or lack of awareness) were the major reasons for such actions. But guess I was wrong.

I realized that situations don’t govern your actions but you do, your morals and conscious. What led to this change in belief was a simple event which really touched and made me think so much.

I got up today morning and did my daily business. I was really hungry so I went to a near by confectionary (alias bakery) with a friend of mine. We were sitting there and were having puffs and tea. We were just talking, when we saw 3 small kids from the near by construction site there. They certainly looked like siblings. They were holding each others hand dutifully as has been taught by their mother and one of them was carrying their sister. It certainly looked like those kids from “Slum dog Millionaire” or from the red lights asking for money. They entered the bakery ordered for one egg puff and asked to cut it in 3 pieces. It was really touching. While the brothers were having their share, their sister was just staring at the chocolates that were kept there. She never asked for it, though she had that wanting look in her eyes. It seemed as if she really knew what she could ask for. This even really touched my friend and he bought a chocolate for her.
This seemed to go unnoticed to her brothers. After having their puff they walked out of the bakery.

After sometime one of the brother came back to my friend and gave back the chocolate he had offered and bought few candies with the change he was left with. He did thank him for his actions but refused to accept it. I was awed by the whole turn of events that I got a chill down the spine.
I was just speechless and stood there in a total shock.

Don’t you think if situations really govern our actions then the kid would have accepted the chocolate? But he did not!! It certainly showed what their parents have taught them. Morals should govern person’s actions. But sadly in today’s time it doesn’t happen nor do others let it happen.
