A woman asked an elderly man, "How much do you sell these eggs for?"
The old man replied, "50 cents per egg, lady."
The woman said, "I’ll take 6 eggs for $2.50, or I won’t buy any."
The old seller answered, "You can pay whatever you want. It’s fine. I haven’t sold a single egg today, and I need to sell everything to feed my family."
She bought the eggs at her price, feeling like she had won.
Later, she got into her nice car and went to a fancy restaurant with her boyfriend. They ordered what they wanted, ate a little, and left most of it.
The bill came to €180, and the woman left €200, telling the owner it was a tip.
For the chef of a luxury restaurant, this might seem normal, but for the egg seller, it seems unfair.
The question is:
Why do we always feel the need to show power over a poor seller when we buy from them, yet we are so generous to those who don’t need our help?
I once read something that stayed with me:
“My father would buy goods from the poor at high prices, even when he didn’t need them. He would sometimes pay more than the asking price. I asked him why, and he said, ‘This is charity wrapped in dignity, my daughter.’”
I know most of you might not share this story, but if you’re one of the few who took the time to read it, please consider sharing it. Maybe you’re planting a good seed for someone to see.
@basedandbougie We should change the constitution to only allow the person who is elected to be prime minister and if the party decides to change that leader for any reason it should automatically trigger a general election so to give the new party/prime minister a mandate to govern

This needs to go Viral! In Atlanta for the FIFA World Cup game between Spain & Cabo Verde a fan wearing a Spain jersey gestured to a Cabo Verde fan asking if he would like to swap jerseys & he said excitedly said Yes so they traded jerseys & hugged for what seemed like forever.
🇪🇸🇨🇻 Após o empate entre Espanha e Cabo Verde, no Mercedes-Benz Stadium, em Atlanta, um torcedor espanhol se aproximou de um grupo de cabo-verdianos, pediu para trocar de camisa e, ao conseguir, abraçou o torcedor adversário parabenizando a seleção de Cabo Verde pelo resultado.

We’ve learnt some bad news that Donny Strathie passed away in Boston on Sunday. He had a ticket for the Morocco game, but never got the chance to realize his World Cup dream.
It would mean a lot to his family if we could organise a minutes applause in the 76th minute of the Morocco game.

I’m thrilled right now, I just got a new wheels 😁, completely paid off! It’s an unreal feeling… I can’t find the words to describe how special this moment is, but I’m thankful for everything. Big thanks to @DigitalGainHQ for giving me the chance to work with you ❤️
Peter Lorimer mural finished, now needing a coat of varnish or two. Peter was for many years my favourite Leeds player, scorer of spectacular goals aplenty, and like many others I was lucky enough to know him as a friend.
