Things are getting so depressing lately with the whole COVID-19 situation and how stupid our government is in aiding those in need. I thank my luck that I still have enough to go on with my life as normal but today when I went out to buy some food for lunch--

A beggar came up to me, a woman, about 40-50 years old dressed in old, shaggy, and dirty clothes. She didn't ask for money, but she was begging for a box of food. She told me she doesn't want any money but she just want a meal, anything is fine. The cheapest I could give her--

Or anything of sort. She'll eat anything because she hadn't eaten for three days now. Usually, I don't give money to beggars because some really are just a scam, but when I look at this old woman, her eyes were genuine and she looked like she was going to cry.

It could be just an act, I know, but in the end I bought her three boxes of food, gave her a bit of money and told her that it should last her for a bit longer, and for her to keep fighting. She was tearing up and nearly grovel to the ground if I didn't stop her.

Really, I don't care if it was an act or not but seeing her willing to go on her knees and grovel for the food and a bit of money I could spare her just broke my heart. Some people who don't have anything really don't... and they're struggling just to feed themselves--

Some even have children to take care of. Then I look at how our government is looking into buying more tanks when there's literally people starving out here, trying to meet end's meet. It... makes me so angry. I don't know what I'm angry about. But I was furious. I was livid.

Angry at the system, at the gap of wealth between the people in the country, angry at those ignorant people supporting the government, angry at the government still burning cash and is all healthy and happy while others are suffering. God... the list goes on and on.

I'm just... angry at how I feel so powerless in helping those in need and what I could do now is donate money whenever I could. At least, I know I won't regret buying the food for that lady. Whether her story was real or not, I'm glad I could help her have something to eat.

Even if it's just another day or two.
