My heart..

I went to the mall today, and as I was leaving via the underground walkway that takes you to the subway, I was stopped by to young girls. Now they didn't really stop me, but as I walked between two sets of doors they said "excuse me do you have a toonie?" I stopped and they then explained that they needed it for the subway to get home. Well I gave one to them. Yes I gave money to someone I didn't know. They needed it more than I. Then again perhaps they just take advantage of certain peoples kindness and are going to go spend the money they get on cigarettes. I don't care. The point of all this is that I have changed. 6 months ago I wouldn't have even stopped when they said 'excuse me'. My cold heart wouldn't have even given them a second glance. But I did. My bleeding hearts stopped for them. This will have been the second time I have given money to someone I don't know in this school year. Guess it's my hearts new weakness. Pity. Knowing that if I was in their shoes I would hope someone would stop for me. Guess my stone heart towards the would has begun to crack. For the better or worse? Only time can truly tell...

JON! You're turning into a big ol' softie!
I DIDN'T RAISE YOU TO BE A SOFTIE! I AM MORE OF A MAN THAN YOU'LL EVER BE!! Now.. go make me some Kraft Dinner.
Anyways, I think that's good in a way. I mean, there are a lot of people you can't trust on the streets and they are CON ARTISTS. But then again, you can never tell who is or who isn't. I think that was generous of you. EVEN IF THEY WENT TO GET COCAINE. Jon.. Stop fueling the drug economy.. Only you can prevent forest fires.
