hes got the look ..


Well i was just driving back home in heavy traffic when this incident just humbled me to the extent of making me cry .. To your surprise it took nothing but just one look .. So i was at this turning ..and i as any other driver am always in a rush.. So im like in that mood of rumbling constant abuses to those being an obstacle .. Mostly of the nonsensical kind . However, at this particular turning .. This very young chap on his cycle was peddling away.. And in my mood of dun give a crap about anyone else and jus abusing anyone who'd cause the slightest of hinderance .. I turned to start abusing this young lad .. Thats when i got the look .. It was absolutely nothing .. All i could see is a helpless boy trying to reach somewhere .. With ofcourse not the most convinient means of transport .. Obviously its difficult to pedal around n a slope in heavy traffic when everyone treats you like you are a complete pain in the *ss. It then struck me .. Is it his fault hes poor? .. Is it his fault hes got no better means of transport ? And just because i do .. Does that give me the right to be blatantly rude to him ..? Just cos of this damn thing called money that defines our toys and our classes .. Is it right to take the less fortunate for granted ?... He did nothing .. He just waited.. Looking simply.. As i overtook him .. My road rage melted away into a big puddle of shame and humility... I have never felt such unintentional and intense switch in feelings in my life ... I felt thankful .. And happy for the car i was blessed with .. I forgot about the troublesome traffic .. And took my moment to soak in the blessings .. Though tangible .. Blessings are blessings ... I dont want to take anything for granted ...i have a thankful heart ..
