Oversight "He who gives to the poor lends to his maker"

Most times when we walk into big malls,
boutiques,
supermarkets,
we never question their prices. We pay exactly
what we
see on the
price tags and even hand out tips to the staff.
But the moment we are out of these shops and
want to
buy banana,
our bargaining game gets off to the roof. Poor
widow with

12
hungry children at home tells you banana is
#100. She even
takes
out her time to explain how difficult it was for
her to even
buy it,
how the economy is so tough.
But we insist that if it's not #50, we are not
paying. Some
of us
even step back into our cars and make to drive
away. But
because
'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is
forced to call
you back
and sell to you at little or no gain. In her heart,
she cries,
she's
worried about how she'll survive with her
children. She
silently
reassures herself that 'It's well.
God will definitely provide.'' While you happily
chop the
luscious
banana. Take some seconds out and think about
this, guys.
Am
always moved to tears when I see people who
genuinely
and
helplessly hawk petty goods to feed and survive
for that
day,
especially women and children. Please don't
bargain hard
with
small vendors like this. They do business not to
buy
designer bags,
Gucci shoes and designer clothes but to LIVE and
EAT for
that day
and the children share the remaining money to
take to
school the
next day (that's if there's any left).
