Giving Something Back

Living the Life of a Beggar

By

Beggars are often misunderstood as people who have given up on life and choose to beg for support in the form of pennies and loose change. To these people, feeling that they have given up any hope of getting their feet back on the ground is a normal response if they were asked up close and personal.

Beggars of Today

While sharing a nickel or a quarter may go a long way for them, it is hard to believe the people would simply lie over and die. But to some people in such an unfortunate situation, it is more than simple surrender but another aspect of personal proportions that have led them to lose hope and live the rest of their days in misery.

Money and support is not all the things in a person�s life. The matter of affection and care is also an invisible need that people tend to overlook. For people who fill the streets in rags and dirty clothes, a simple comfort and smile may eventually give their lives a new lease.

Looking Through the Eyes of Despair

By

Eyes of Despair

A lot can be said about a person by one glance of their eyes. Expressions can be extracted from a person�s eyes and this is something that can be obviously connoted up close. Especially for children who are certainly innocent and are no experts in hiding inner emotions and feelings, it is but normal to get a prelude to what they are experiencing at the moment. It is simply something that is hard to find.

While the whole story of such plights of lesser fortunate siblings cannot be entirely assessed, it does not take a person to understand why such people would be found in that predicament. But people do not really need to hear their story as most would come from typical mishaps such as financial and lesser responsible people who start to become selfish at certain points of their lives.

Siblings are the victims of such selfish acts and bearing the brunt for them is totally unacceptable.

A Penny Spared is a Penny Cherished

By

Deep in our pockets, we often disregard the presence of loose change in the form of pennies and quarters. The overall value of these in a monetary aspect would be seemingly useless, but to the people who are not so well-off in the financial aspect, they would go a long way in adding to their savings for daily needs of survival.

Loose Change

While it is true that people have not been that lucky or have mismanaged their lives somewhere along the way, but the bottom line is that familiar phrase �every penny counts�. Bickering and scolding people who have made a mess out of their lives, both in the natural course and of their own doing, will always be realized when all has been done.

It would all come to a stage in life where asking for help in the form of pennies or goods would become imminent. But just the same, extending a helping hand with things that may not be as important may become someone else�s treasure.
