Your thoughts on this .

[-PK-]

I couldn't come up with a better title .
Today i had gone to the market to buy groceries , while i was shopping , i saw this little girl sitting at the side of a pavement and by the looks of her , she was 5-8 years old .
Her clothes were all torn up and she was there selling little boxes of firecrackers barely enough to cover anything even if she was able to sell them all . She only had like 4-5 box of them and all of them were small as well .
I couldn't help but notice how in such a crowded market ( it is festival time , so lot of people were shopping) , not even a single person would come there and help her .
I had enough money , so i decided that i will buy all the items on the list ( just 4) and give all the remaining money to the girl .
I barely took 5 minutes to finish shopping , but when i returned to the place where she was sitting , she was not there . Leaving me with a guilt that i should have helped her earlier or asked or told her to wait right there until bring some of my sister's old clothes for her .
I know that its just one child and there are millions more who are suffering in the same way or even worse but even helping one should make a difference imo .
So what are your thoughts on this ?. Have you ever been in a similar situation where you were left with guilt or how do you feel when you see people suffering like this .

it makes me feel horrible :<, i wish i could help that little girl now...

there should be some organization or something that it's minimum goal would be "no one will go to sleep hungry anymore" or something, i don't think we are doing enough to help them

I live in Holland. You don't see child beggars here.
Instead of supporting the fairly small percentage of homeless people here with financial aid and whatnot, we waste 4billion on a couple of fighter planes, raise the politicians' salaries and on top of that throw 80+ ers out of healthcare..

Wow, that would make me feel sad in the heart

I have actually. I was gone overseas, Pakistan. When i see small children on the floor desperately asking for money. I do give when i have something but yeah. Too many people who are orphaned and poor there, im not a millionaire :/

We need Monkey D Dragon to come save people who are suffering from poverty irl.

Yes, and in a certain city here mendicancy is highly discouraged by the government. But when you see people suffering like that, who can't help but feel sorry especially for the children?

I give food instead of money though.

Do you live in America?

That's very sad. .-.

Unfortunately, it happens everywhere. If she was gone when you came back out, don't beat yourself up for not being able to help her.

Where I live there are only adult homeless men and woman.
