Me and a Homeless Guy in Barcelona

For most of Western countries, seeing homeless people is not rare;however, it is uncommon in Japan and Vietnam, in which I have lived.

So giving something to those people on streets is somehow scary for most of us in my country,but I have realized that sharing our wealth to those without anything is never unethical.

My family and I went to Barcelona during this summer break and I saw many street people begging for a penny.

Today, I accidentally kicked the homeless person's cup filled with with a few coins. So I put them back and added some coins from my wallet as a means of the apology.

The homeless guy gave a smile to me, shook my hand, and said "Gracias!". At that moment, I felt as if I did a something extremely benefitial for him.

I used to have some offensive perspectives on those without proper home, but I have realized that helping someone even a little bit is a huge benefit to them.
