Morning Realization

By Joe

This morning as I was walking home from the gym, it had started to rain. On my walk home, which usually takes about 10 minutes, I passed a homeless man sitting on the corner crying asking for money to buy an umbrella. I felt pretty terrible and if I had any money on me I certainly would have gave him some.

"I wish there was something I could do for him." I thought to myself. "I wonder how he got in that situation. Life just isn't fair sometimes."

Then, as I walked a few blocks further, I passed another homeless man laughing out loud... while he bathed (The upper half of his body) in the rain.

"Ha!" I thought to myself. "Life really is what you make of it..."
