So many things happened lately when i stayed in jakarta for more than 2 weeks, things that i knew always there, therefore it didnt change me. I had that awareness already.....

That was a day when me and friends went to have burgers, then an old woman and her little boy came and asked for some money. She gave a gesture showing that she needed it for food, i gave her some. I watched her walked to the burger shop and ordered one but the waiter looked so reluctant to serve her. Maybe he's known that her money wouldnt be enough, and when it's true all that he could do was talked to his manager and the result was that that woman couldnt get a burger.
How did the others react? Nothing, or maybe i reacted too fast. Coz the moment that she was rejected, i was there looking at her and she automaticly walked towards me. She moved her lips and i recognized the word, then i knew she was mute ( dont like the term-more like a thing). I asked her how much she got, she handed me the money, i counted them and added some so she could get the food.
My friend thought it would be better if she just bought rice or something that can make her full, but my other friend thought maybe she also wanted to taste fancy food.

What's the lesson to be learnt????
