TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD FROM UNEDUCATED TO EDUCATED - BUT ALSO FROM HEART FULL TO HEARTLESS!!

Motivated by the #Dubai Fitness Challenge#; Myself residing at Sharjah decided to spend 30 minutes on walking daily. Last day; I was walking hastily across the SHARJAH – DUBAI border where I saw some police cabs stationed in the deserted area just before the footbridge. And a huge crowd of people had gathered there. I feared some accident must have taken place and slowed my steps down.  I was trying to figure out what was happening.

After few seconds my heart sank. Beside the police jeep were some boxes full of fresh vegetables and fruits . The vendor was not there. I guessed it. He must be inside the jeep.

Shocking part was when I saw the happy faces of well-dress executives and make up worn faces grabbing hastily at those veggies and fruits as though they won a LOTTERY (as if Santa Claus left a package of gifts for free ). They were not content even when their hands were full .  They were searching for bags and covers to grab more. Pathetic educated working class people.

Yes I agree ! It was illegal for that person to sell vegetables and fruits at a non-registered place!  But maybe he was illiterate.  He couldn’t afford to get a job. There are millions of jobless people in UAE. He would have taken a lot of effort and hard work for doing this, Maybe he was starving that he had to find some way to make some money for food. He sought a way to survive.

But what hurt me the most was the plight of the other people!  Heartless Merciless ! How could they just like that be so happy on the sweat of some others? They were going to dine the tears and sweat of a poor soul who was still out there in distress.

Did anyone who grabbed those veg and fruits think in one or other way to help that man who was caught or to guide him or help him in finding a job or a support?  Never because they were so happy to get something for free.  Selfish educated beings!

Pathetic I cried my heart out silently. Tears came in to my eyes and started rolling nonstop! I wanted to go and talk to the police and tell them to let him go but it was against rule!  I wanted to help that man by giving some money but I myself was struggling for money.  A moment in my life I felt so helpless and tied up.  I cried and prayed to God to take care of that vendor.
