Kind act

So, today when I was walking down the street with my dog, I saw a homeless guy sitting in the rocks and I was always watching him trying to cover my identity. Then I saw that the few people who passed by him, didn't even say Hi to him and it made me think that we don't know how lucky we are until we get into that situation as well..

After 5 min, I saw him getting some "grass" out of his pocket and doing a cigarrete... I was really concerned if it were drugs or just cigarettes but the heartbeat started to get higher. Until I decided that I wanted to help, so I approached him and told him if he needed something... And he denied. I tried to understand why he was in that situation but he didn't say.  The only thing I could offer to him it was food but he didn't want. So after some time trying to help and after he denied everything, I took off and went home.

I still think if I could have done something else, but I was so scared that he could have done something to me or my dog in a road that at that time no one was passing by and would hear me scream if I did, I just wanted to play safe.

I tried to help because I was always thinking that I want to be someone who act differently than the society do. That kind of acts which reason is do good for other. I kinda wanna stand out in the community and I wanna be different in order to build up a better society in the future.
So I thought, today is this guy  who are in this situation but tomorrow it could be me and I wished that I could have someone that stood out and wanted to help me eve thought if it were just for listening myself and my story.
