Everybody has issues at Christmas

12/1/2012

"We all have issues at Christmas." He said. "Here’s a big one." I just had to buy a copy of the Big Issue from him on that day. A few months later, I also read an article about a homeless man who talked about the worst aspects of his situation. He didn’t want to beg, so he spent hours every day often in the freezing cold trying to sell copies of The Big Issue. In the article, the homeless man said that over 90% of the people who passed by would look straight through him as if he wasn’t even there. That, he found was the most hurtful aspect of his life.

As Christmas approaches, acknowledge the existence of more people. A smile costs nothing. In Africa, there’s a traditional greeting "I see you." The response is “I am here.” This is about respecting the presence of each person. It means far more than a simple "Hello." But just saying “hello” in a warm, friendly way even to complete strangers as a daily habit, starts something magical. It makes you feel so much better about yourself. Its as if a small flame is lit inside you, which starts to radiate light and warmth, first internally and then it gets passed on to others. Give it a go. Its free.
