We all have those quite powerful and extremely rare moments in life where we are struck with incredible awe ... sometimes certain feelings that are so profound like no other makes some of us wonder in a deep and special manner
I wanted to make a most probably unusual thread that I hope will be pretty special in a way when you have those rare moments in life that briefly take your breathe away!
So! This is my special thought for the day!
I was walking on my way to my car yesterday at the shops and long ago (about 7 years ago it was almost an entire decade ago if I recall correctly I am amazed I remembered so long ago!) I met what we call a "bergie" (berg = mountain the "tjie" part means small or diminutive so basically a hobo it translates to) basically it means homeless person and we used to chat once or twice years and years ago when I was still in University.
Fast forward to 7 years today and he was amazed I remembered his name and how I helped give him a bit of my food.
I asked him how he was doing and he smiled and just said he is doing very well. So I asked him (with a slightly stern but semi joking manner) if he was in the 26's, 27's and 28's (please note these are the infamous "numbers gangs" that are scary and one of the worst gangs in the whole world they are extremely scary people. The 27's love killing people that is their "claim to fame").
He laughed and said no he never hangs out with those kinds of bad people but he told me he had his own business now.
I also jokingly asked him if I am still a c*nt (he called me this in Afrikaans when I refused to give him money but offered food instead) because he muttered it under his breathe ever so slightly back then.
Because I could smell alcohol under his breathe lol so I refused to give him a cent
He then told me he now has his own business (his current appearance was outstanding compared to what I previously remembered it was a shocker!) and I saw him getting into his own car!
I was really impressed and I told him well done on over comping your drinking and other problems and gave him a good strong hand shake.
It was just one of hose rare moments in life that are kind of special because you see someone in destress you give them a bit of a helping hand and you see them in a much different light later down the road
So I thought I would make a very special thread with some deep and profound thoughts / moments and / or memories or anything very interesting and deep and profound!
Interesting world
