Couple of weeks ago, during my routine walk to office, my eyes caught this sight. It was unavoidable. No one can go without noticing it. First time I saw it, my heart wrenched in pain. I kept playing the sight in my mind. And I kept asking, why, why, why?
In a corner of walkaway, there sat one lady with a child. The toddler must be not more than 3 years old. They were beggars. The first time I looked into her eyes, I saw something which I cannot describe. Our eyes were locked for few seconds. I wanted to probe to find out more, who are they? why are they here? What caused them this misery?
I saw the pain, anguish and sadness in the two small eyes. I felt very upset why God has created such situation. Two extreme worlds. I remember when my daughter was her age she was one happy,cheerful little girl with no boundaries. At that tender age all she knew was to play. Showered with love and care by people all around her. Each moment with her is priceless. We are so blessed to have her and to see her growing up. In contrary with what this little girl is going thru. I can't imagine what kind of environment is she is growing up? Who are her parents ? Why is she left in lurch by them ? It is heart breaking to see kids in this conditions.
In fact there are a lot of them. Unfortunate ones in war torn countries and poverty. No answers for these miseries. Mankind who are too greedy. Chasing after power. They are placing these kids at stake. God is merciless ? We have not found an answer.
