Hi Neighbor!
A while ago I was in a sandwich shop downtown. Through the window I saw a young man, unshaven with threadbare clothes, sitting alone at an outside table, not eating or drinking. On the spur of the moment, I decided to buy him the same sandwich I’d ordered and an iced tea.
Frankly I was uncomfortable engaging with a stranger. Would he respond angrily if I approached him? Overriding these concerns, I went outside and quickly placed the bag of food on his table without saying anything as I turned and walked quickly away.
