People Deserve a Chance to Be Heard

I ride the public transportation a lot. In every ride all sort of people can be seen. Some are in a hurry, some look frustrated, and it breaks my heart that no many people are smiling. One day, I saw one of the passengers outside the bus. I took a moment and ask how he was doing. This old man managed to share his story of his life during the ten minutes that I had the chance to listen to him. It was really touching for me when he told me "it is nice to actually talk to someone" This homeless man is ill, has no family and barely has food. However, he smiles when he is being heard. Talking to him was a reminder that material things are not more than "things". One can help so much by just asking asking a simple question or even just by giving a smile to someone. Let's give more kind smiles to strangers, they will surely appreciate it in the inside! =)
