DO YOU JUDGE PEOPLE? In a run-down house, far from the village, lived a young man who was mentally impaired. He was always seen in the village, working hard to fill his old bag with discarded items & scraps of food. The children of the village sneered at him; the elderly villagers looked down on him & scolded their children from coming near him. One day, the villagers learned that the young man had passed away. He had died alone. When they went to his house, they were surprised to find the man's parents, sickly & bed-ridden in the lonely and secluded house. The shock of their discovery brought them to their senses. They quickly realized that the young man whom they had mocked at, despite his mental & physical impairments, was devoted to taking care of his sick & bedridden parents until the day he died. With his death, he taught the villagers a valuable lesson: Never make assumptions & jump to conclusions about others, for sometimes the most caring individuals are those we wouldn't suspect. Don't ever look down on anyone & think that are better off than him/her
