She asked him, "How much are you selling the eggs?"
The old seller replied to her, "5 Rs for one egg, Madam."
She said to him, "I will take 6 eggs for Rs.24/ or I will leave."
The old seller replied, "Come take them at the price you want. May God bless us, and maybe this is a good beginning because I have not yet sold to anyone."
She took it and walked away feeling she has won. She got into her fancy car and went to pick her friend, and invited her to a restaurant.
She and her friend sat down and ordered what they like. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered because they had prestige. By the rules of the prestige it is required to eat little from what you order in the restaurant.
Then she went to pay the bill. The bill was Rs.2600/. She gave him Rs.3000/and said to the owner of the restaurant: "Keep the change."
This story may seem normal to the owner of the restaurant. But it is very painful for the eggs' seller.
The bottom line is:
*Why do we always show that we have the power when we buy from the needy and the poor? And we are generous with those who do not need our generosity ?*
Every time a poor child comes to me to sell something simple, I remember a tweet from the son of a rich man who said, "After every prayer my father used to buy simple goods for very expensive prices, even though he did not need them. Sometimes he used to pay more for them. I used to get concerned by this act and I told him about it. Then my father told me: *'It is a charity wrapped with dignity, my son.'"*
Compare these two stories of social hypocrisy.
The first one is disappointing and the second one is inspiring.
*May God enlighten our vision..!!*
