Am I stupid?
August 4, 2006 by Santosh
Everyday, when my car stops at red light, 3-4 small children start hovering around my car, spreading thier little palms, and invariably I give them 100 cfa (African Currency) to each of them. It has become a routine for me. Yesterday I asked my driver to get change for 1000 Cfa bill,and he gave me an allknowing smile and a look which was clearly indicating that i am a stupid.Wasting my money on these kids. Am I? Noway, i enjoy the look on the face of children, when they see my car. They know that the are going to get
something. I dont want to disappoint them. I just pray God that dont make me disappont them anyday. Amen.

that is precious.
my dad says when someone is trying to trick you, being kind to them is the holy thing to do.
good luck - i know those kinds of things are very difficult decisions.
I think you do cherish the feeling of seeing those kids surround your car and maybe u also like the kids faces when they get the money… but i think its kinda bad as u recieving money for free is the worst habit in the world.. so please abstain and instead carry sweets or candies for them….not free cash!!!
bacho ki aadat kharab mat karo
