15.I was on the escalator.There was an old man.He was about five or six people ahead of me.People behind him were all in a hurry and saw him as an obstacle(障礙).This man was well aware of the challenge.He tried desperately to step aside.
I'll admit it.Sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person I've gotten impatient and upset.
"I'm sorry.Please forgive me!I don't mean to hold you up."the old man said as he struggled to get off the escalator.
I suddenly saw this in a whole new light.I felt sorry for him.I felt sick to my stomach because this man was apologizing to everyone,when we should have been helping him and calming his fears.
One by one,people zipped around him.By the time I got to him,I asked,"My friend,can I help you with those things?"
Hesitant at first,he finally said,"Well,yes,thank you!"
I placed my hand under his left arm and walked with him a safe distance away from the rush of people.
"So what are you shopping for,sir?"
"0h,just a little something for my neighbor.She's a young mother raising kids on her own.She's always so nice to me.I bought a box of candy for Mother'S Day …"he said,stopping suddenly as he searched his inside pocket of his sport coat."Do you need something?"I asked.
"Oh,no.Here.I think I have it right here.I always carry them with me."he said.
Then he took out some business cards and handed me one which read:"John A.Pomicter Friend to all,_______.
I said a prayer today and you were the answer.Thank you!"
"That's for you."he said,"Thanks for stopping to help an old man."
"My friend,you helped me.I discovered that I was unhappy with the world and I was part of the problem.Now I'll be part of the solution.No more with me!"
