the girl who gets the laugh of everyone

I was riding in a jeepney and I noticed that everyone is silently laughing. They got my attention and I look around and saw a girl who wears dirty and unlovely clothes. The color of her pants and shirt were not in good combination and everything about her was not good. I pitied her so much and I realized how people are so judgmental. They were laughing at her clothes, they only see what is outside and not thinking what is behind her clothes. They did not realize that maybe the reason why she wore those clothes is because, she has no money to buy a new one. I am not a saint but I know how to respect other people, the more the person is in pain and poverty the more we should respect and care for them. Life is just a rolling ball we never know when the bad luck will come. If only people will be sensitive enough to the feelings of others...

You know, whenever I see anyone laughing or demeaning someone for any reason, I immediately see an ignorant and stupid laughter. Whenever you run into someone, you never know where the person is coming from or what situation the person is facing. Thus, seeing people and laughing or demeaning them is sign of stupidity, uncivilized behavior and just plain callousness: We are all always just one step away from becoming whatever it is that we make fun of. That person could be you.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, sometimes the more people are educated the more more it doesn't show. Life is so cruel for this girl and those people did not realize how lucky they are to have decent clothes to wear.
