A lady asked an old street vendor, "How much do you charge for your eggs?" The old man replied "0.50 cents per egg, ma'am." The lady replied, “I'll take 6 eggs for $2.00 or I'll leave.” The old salesman replied, “Buy them at the price you want, madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to live.” She bought her eggs for a bargain and left feeling like she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left much of what they had ordered. So they paid the bill, which was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the owner of the fancy restaurant to keep the change as a tip. This story may seem very normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is; Why do we always have to show that we have power when we buy from those in need? And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity? We once read somewhere that a father bought goods from poor people at a high price, even though he did not need those things. Sometimes he paid more for it. His children were amazed. One day they asked him "why are you doing this, daddy?" The father replied, “It is charity wrapped in dignity.” I know most of you won't share this post, but if you're one of the people who took the time to read this far... Then this message of attempted "humanization" will have gone a step further in the right direction. Thank you for reading.
