Two days ago as I was cleaning out my car and a lady comes out of no where and says "Excuse me do you have 50 cents. I couldn't say no because I had money on me. So instead of 50cent I gave her a dollar. Then a day after that as I was coming home from work I walked past a two little girls. I looked at both of them and something in my mind said "They want something from you". I gave it no concern and kept walking. Suddenly a second later this little girl runs up to me and says " Mr. Do you have a dollar?" I said with a smile "I suppose so"! She said thank you and ran off. But then I got the sense that the older sister asked her younger sister to ask me, and that it was a habit for them to do that knowing older men could not say no to a cute face. I gave it a smirk and laughed.
Now just this morning as I dropped my wife off to work. We were in front of her job. I got out of the car to get a dry towel out of the trunk for the little spill that was on the back leather seats. It came from a big dish of Broccoli Stew Chicken my wife made for her New Years day party at her job.
As I opened the trunk I notice a man at the bus stop staring in our direction. I felt that it was kind of odd because it was a one way street and he should be looking the other way if he is waiting for the bus. But I knew he was looking at me to ask me something. But I didn't care at the moment so I gave him a quick glance (with a mental message "Don't mess with me, man!") then went about my business.
I couldn't find the dry towel I was looking for so I just gave my wife her Broccoli Stew Chicken and watched her go off inside the building. As I hopped inside the car I was really not satisfied seeing that spill on the back seat. So I got out of the car again to go to the trunk remembering there was an old, small, ripped, black velvet bag with a pair of jumper cables hanging out of them. I figured I could just rip a piece from there and clean up the spill on the seat with it.
But as I had my back turned the guy that was 20 feet away at the bus stop was now right behind me and with a heavy African accent he said "Excuse me sir my wife has an order of protection against me and I am miles away from home! Can you give me a ride to East Tremont to my home, please!" I wasn't surprised that he was asking for a favor because it happens almost everyday to me. It's like if I have a sign on my head that says "Talk to me I will help you!"
I politely I said "NO, I'm sorry I can not help you" The reason I said "No" because I don't know the guy, I had my four year old son in the back seat. And plus he was wearing a Hospital name band around his wrist and he wasn't wearing any shoes. It's 30 degrees outside, very cold. No way buddy!
The reason I am writing this because people are always asking me for help or need my assistance or they just want to talk. Like when I am on the Subway train. There are Thousands of people on the Subway. Within that thousand you have mentally unstable people. Come on I live in New York City there are a lot of Crazy people here, HELLO!
I can't count the number of times I'm on the train and out of the blue a crazy person would come on the train talking to him or her self out loud. Every one on the train ignores them and so do I. But like always as if I have a sign on my head that reads "Talk to me, I am here to help you" The crazy person would walk by everyone on the subway car and come to where I am sitting and suddenly leave that demented crazy world their mind had them trapped in and they look right at me. Like if they suddenly became aware that they exist and starts to talk to me.
I remember one crazy lady on the train. She was talking to herself, walking by passengers who paid her no mind. As soon as she got to where I was sitting she turns and looks at me and says "You know this world is crazy...!" I looked at her and said "I know".
She talked to me until her stop came up. This happens to me on a regular basis with people with mental disorders or homeless people, just people that need help in general.
What am I some type of human beacon of light. Well I guess that comes with being Clairsentient and Empathic, right?
