The Crippled Man
I saw a crippled man just when I was going to class. He was going in my direction so I immediately remembered something that he would probably not like. Stairs... It was a bit awkward because very few people were around us. I felt obliged to help the man so what I did was I just started walking really slow thinking, "Misery loves company. I will be his company." I was contented with the slow pace. I thought that it was the best way to help him at that time. Half way up the steep stone stairs, I glanced at the time worrying that I have "helped" this crippled man so much that I was already late. I wasn't. While I was slowly dragging myself climbing the stairs, I saw him in the corner of my eye (I didn't want to look at him. He might think I was judging him.) He was struggling really hard. He paused for a while. Now, what was I supposed to do? I only had a few seconds to think about what I was going to do next. I didn't want to stand there just like him because I had no reason to. I wasn't handicapped like him. I decided that I would walk extra slowly this time so he can keep up later on. But his pause lasted for a long moment. I couldn't even see him anymore even in the corner of my eye. That's when I realized that I couldn't help him at all. My keeping up with him probably made him even more depressed about his disability. I felt a bit sad because I seriously wanted to help him, to make him feel a bit better though I didn't know how. As I started to normally walk up the stairs, the answer finally came to me. I had to be just like him so that I could feel what he was feeling. I needed to be a crippled man. That was going way too far. I wasn't going to break my leg just to make someone feel better! I couldn't! Not right now! I had a class...
