While traveling back home, I saw an old lady who was begging on the streets. She was wearing a torn out saree.... It was just covering her basic areas. She looked really old and weak.
As she tried to come closer to me to ask for help, one man shoo her away.
I looked at her for a while and then, I went close to her. I asked her where is she from and why is she on the roads. She tried explaining, but I couldn't understand a word. Finally, I took her to a near by food joint and brought her a meal. I asked her if she will be around tomorrow, so will get her few sarees as well.
After all this,she smiled and said "I am not doing this because I like, I am in a situation that I have no choice, no family, no one."
Now my current feeling is, I am happy and seriously happy. My heart is filled with real happiness. I always believed that happiness is not what you have, but what you give.... And today is the day I experienced it

Oh that feeling whenever I see old person begging on streets :( I always give them coins and food sometimes. I really feel sorry for them and it always comes to my mind "what kind of children.family do they have??" because they didn't take care of them.. like you know... they are old... they should treat right.. owww, that makes me sad :(

We have the same feeling. I am generous of giving them food.

It is my principal give to needy person and never give any thing to healthy person. I too help many time to these type of peoples. When I was running shop one lady came to me once in a week and I give her some money. If you find helpless peoples like her than try to send them in old age home.

You're right that happiness is not what you have, but what you give. So as what the Bible says, "It's more blessed to give than to receive."
