A man, leaning heavily on his cane, walked into a small shop one afternoon with a look of quiet desperation. In his hands, he held his only mobile phone, a lifeline he now wanted to sell to afford treatment for his diabetes.

For many, it might have been just another transaction. But for the shop owner, it became something deeply human.

“When I heard his story, I almost cried,” the shop owner shared.

Instead of buying the phone, he gently stopped the man and said, “Don’t sell your phone.” He then reached into his own pocket and offered financial help, no conditions, no hesitation. In that small, genuine moment, compassion replaced commerce.

Overwhelmed with emotion, the man broke down in tears, expressing his heartfelt gratitude. The shop owner told him that if he ever faced difficulties again, he could always come by for help, a promise of support that extended far beyond a single act of charity.

“There are so many people who need help,” he said. “I just do what I can, within my means.”

In a world where life often feels like a race for survival, this simple act reminds us of what truly matters, humanity.

Hari ini, saya mengalami satu kejadian yang sangat menyentuh hati. Seorang pelanggan datang ke kedai saya dengan membawa Xiaomi 13 untuk dijual. Selepas bertanya, barulah saya tahu bahawa dia ingin menjual telefonnya untuk mendapatkan wang bagi merawat kakinya. Kakinya mengalami luka yang teruk akibat diabetes, dan dia tidak ada pilihan lain selain menjual telefonnya untuk mendapatkan rawatan. Apabila mendengar kisahnya, air mata saya hampir mengalir. Akhirnya, saya berkata kepadanya, “Jangan jual telefon awak. Saya akan beri awak wang untuk merawat kaki awak.” Pada saat itu, dia menangis teresak-esak mendengar apa yang saya katakan. Saya juga memberitahunya bahawa jika dia menghadapi kesulitan, dia boleh datang ke kedai saya atau hubungi saya bila-bila masa. Sebenarnya, masih ramai orang di luar sana yang memerlukan bantuan. Saya hanya mampu membantu setakat kemampuan saya. Semoga sahabat ini diberi kesembuhan dan kesejahteraan.

As we celebrate World Kindness Day, let’s remember that kindness doesn’t always need grand gestures. Sometimes, it’s as simple as seeing someone’s pain and choosing to care. You never know how much a small act of compassion can mean to someone fighting silent battles.
