Compassion

Yesterday after work i came back for dinner. After dinner, suddenly my dad chatted with me about some time 50 years back, how the then Li XXXXXX cheated his money 50 years back. For those who don't know who is him, he's probably the richest chinese on earth.

Following that, my mum talked about my ex neighbour, telling me how bad is their situation now. The auntie has a husband whom died young, leaving her to take care of their son. Their son is a fish monger whom probably earned quite alot. But due to their spending habit, their have to keep renting houses instead of buying one. My mum, said something which really touched my heart, "she has been so old already and doesn't have a home of her own. You see how sad it is...A home is the most important thing to a woman ( of course to a man as well).."

She felt so bad for another family, when she herself is down with illness; that's the power of Mother. I never heard my mother sharing her wisdom for a long time, but it really means alot when she said that.
