So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I'm hungry! I'm hungry!" She asked everyone if they had a restaurant ticket or some money or whatever. People do this all the time but this time it was weird because she seemed like she was practically in tears. I couldn't see her through the crowd. I got off the metro and she got off, too. She knelt down at the very edge of the quay as the train started speeding off, her head inches from the train. Everyone who had gotten off looked back at her but nobody stopped. I usually don't approach people because I feel like I can't speak french well enough, but this time I figured I'd better do something. I came up and said, "Is everything ok, Madame?" She didn't look at me. "I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I haven't eaten in days," she said. I moved her gently back from the edge of the platform. A couple who had been moving towards the exit came back and joined us. They asked her if everything was ok, and she said that she had horrible kids and a horrible life and she hadn't eaten in days and she just wanted a sandwich. We moved her back to the platform seats and I gave her my last five bucks. I told her gently that now she could buy herself a sandwich and maybe she would feel better once she ate. The man only had fifty cents, and the woman didn't have anything besides twenties and little bits of change, so she shrugged helplessly. The woman asked if we had anything more but that was it. She angrily turned away. We started to walk away and she called out "Thank you" after us. As we walked up the stairs, the three of us shared the hope that she wasn't going to throw herself in front of the next train. alllghgghghhhh should I have done more? I probably should have taken her for a sandwich and some coffee and listened to her story, you know? I wish I spoke french better.... :C.... as it is I have no idea where she could go for help. I'm always imagining rescuing someone in the metro from an oncoming train... maybe I missed my opportunity. :C 5 Comments. Well I hope she didn't kill herself, but man, I have to be honest, it sounds like she was kind of demanding. You guys gave her money and she asked you for more? » randomjunk on 2012-09-01 10:07:20 this is assuming that she was even telling the truth about being hungry... people do that in the states all the time, asking for money and acting hungry when really all they want is drug money. » thaitanic on 2012-09-01 10:16:28 I hope she didn't kill herself... Though sometimes there really isn't much that we can do. We can help them once but we cannot help them all the time. Don't they have security of some sort at the metro station that handles situations? » Nuttz on 2012-09-01 11:11:13 I agree with thaitanic. My friend saw a person with a sign that said anything hungry and when he offered to buy the guy a sandwich, he refused and demanded $40. I hope nothing horrible happened to that lady and that she actually took the money to buy food. Don't feel too bad. You did a lot more than a lot of people would have. » LostSoul13 on 2012-09-01 11:47:43 Maybe the train you rescued her from wasn't so oncoming. » jinyu on 2012-09-04 04:56:38
