An Elderly Woman Asked Me For Alms Today by Paulscholari(m): 10:42pm On Nov 03, 2017
An Elderly woman asked me for alms today on the road, she said "tamilore" I didn't look at her face talkless of responding, because Its on a busy road where vehicles and people are walking on all sides, now after my night prayer this evening, the event played in my heart and I've been saddened, it feels like I should just find myself in that spot and see her and give something to that woman, even after remembering the dream I had last night too, I feel quite sorry and sad. It's not in my nature to give alms or gift to someone in an open place, especially if I've not prepared to do so, dipping my hands to my pocket picking my wallet and giving out cash to complete stranger on a busy road is a no no for me, but this actually makes me sick and unhappy right now.

You felt guilt cos your inner conscience is still living. its normal. you don't need to be sorry for it. if you still feel pricked you can give some else or drop it in an offering box.
