Never kick a person while they're down...
Once in a while, we get to witness some things that makes you shake your head in disbelief. Why are some people just so mean?
A little while ago, I saw this panhandler sitting down on the sidewalk on a cold day. She was young, I'd guess 20 or so, and had a mug in front of her for passer-bys to put change in. Well, if you decide to not give change to a homeless person for whatever reason that's your choice. But some people take it one step further. This guy, I'd guess in his early to mid 20s, thought it appropriate to kick her mug all over the sidewalk. He was laughing as he went into the store behind her. She was obviously very upset and collected the change that was now over the sidewalk.
Some people who saw it took the time to help her collect her change and tried to make her feel a little better. We get to see sometimes the best in people when others act their worst. But still, it's appalling that someone would do that to another person who's life is currently not exactly sunshine and lollipops. Be nice to each other out there, you never know what karma will have in store for you.
