There was no sorrow or sadness in their faces, just the deep pain of hunger. I gave the rice to the mother. She divided it in two and went out, carrying half the rice with her. When she came back, I asked her," Where did you go?" She gave me this simple answer," To my neighbour-they are also hungry." I was not surprised because poor people are generous but I was surprised that she knew they were hungry. As a rule, when we are suffering, we are so focused on ourselves; we have no time for others. We become selfish and self-centered. Having experienced the pangs of sufferings, we should, rather extend a helping hand to the poor and the needy. 1.
