A lady asked him: «How much is one egg sold for?;»
The poor salesman replied: «0,25€ an egg, lady».
She told him: «I will take 6 eggs for €1.25 or I'll leave».
The poor salesman replied: «Come and get them at the price you want. Maybe that's a good start because I haven't sold a single egg today».
He took the eggs and left feeling like he had won. She took her fancy car and went to a restaurant with her friend. There, they ordered the, what they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. He then went to pay the bill. The bill was €45 ! He gave €50 and asked the restaurant owner to keep the change.
This incident may have seemed quite normal to the owner, but very painful for the poor egg seller.
The point is,
Because we always show that we have power when we buy from the needy; And why do we become generous to those who don't even need our generosity;
I once read somewhere:
«Ο πατέρας μου αγόραζε απλά αγαθά από φτωχούς σε υψηλές τιμές, παρόλο που δεν τα χρειαζόταν. Μερικές φορές τα πλήρωνε και πιο ακριβά. Ανησυχούσα για αυτήν την πράξη και τον ρώτησα γιατί το κάνει; Τότε ο πατέρας μου απάντησε: “Είναι φιλανθρωπία τυλιγμένη με αξιοπρέπεια, παιδί μου“
Μου άρεσε πολύ και το ξεσήκωσα, από τα social media, για τους Φίλους Αναγνώστες μας.
