[AriSode] Negative light

This Wednesday I was about to reach when I saw this young man walking with no energy walking in the opposite direction. I tried to not look at him like I usually do when I am walking.  

He stopped me. He wanted me to help him go home and he would pay me once he reached home. I told him I didn't know how I would help him. He continued his journey without another word. 

Two thoughts crossed my mind. He could be really in need of help given his composure. He could also have been putting on an act to take my phone or run with my money. Sadly, the latter had more voice than the first one. 

These days with the number of scams that have been happening, we can't even help others who are really in need of our help. It is a sad stage we have reached to. We can't walk around without suspecting each other. Even those who used to seem respectable we don't look at them with respect anymore. We walk around wondering what would go wrong. On guard all the time. 

They say that everyone has a good and an evil side but why do we keep trying to bring the worst out of each other? Can't we live like the beautiful flowers of an orchid? Different but coexist to form a beautiful painting. 

Note:

AriSode, short for Ariane's Episodes, is a series of articles that look into the life of Ariane, the author of this blog. There are some ideas she would like to share fresh from her experience not as fictional stories. Stay tuned for more posts. 

Listen To A Nerd Talk will be moving to WordPress soon. I will keep posting here drafts but edited posts will be found on WordPress. Be sure to check it out when it comes.

Thank you for reading dear friends. Don't forget to share with your friends. Kisses.
