We find it too moralising and annoying when our elders say not to waste food. But when I saw this miserable scene I felt that they are right. It was nearly 9 at night when we were returning to our home after attending a function.When we reached the local railway station I saw a woman collecting the spoiled vegetables thrown by the vegetables vendors in spite of being stamped by the people who pass by which the hungriest stray animals will not mind to sniff. I felt very bad to see a woman who was longing for something to eat while we people who waste our food which would have been a feast for that poverty stricken woman.
Despite the government boasting about the various cheap and free policies and measures taken feed the poor this incident was an example to show them that there are still people who don't even have an hand to mouth existence around us. We talk about helping African countries in improvising their healthcare facilities and educational facilities when our own story is sorrow one. It not just the government to be blamed. We are glad to donate huge sum of money for charity but hesitate to feed a hungry beggar who comes at the gates.
That incident made me feel that we all had been wicked, immoral and evil to the needy in front of our eyes. Then I decided atleast the next time when I ever see hungry human I will never leave seeing them hungry and do my best to feed them. Let us not enjoy the life ourselves but also share it with others. Let us not be a cause for the hungry to become hungrier any more.
Remember a ordinary meal of ours will a be a feast for many !!!!!!
