A lady asked an old street vendor, "How much do you charge for your eggs?" The old man replied, "0.50 cents per egg, ma'am." The lady replied, "I'll take 6 eggs for 2.00 dollars or I'll leave." The old vendor replied, "Buy them at the price you want, miss. This is a good start for me, because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to make a living."
She bought her eggs at a bargain and left feeling like she'd won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered whatever they wanted. They ate some of what they ordered and left much of it behind. So they paid the bill of 150 dollars. The ladies gave 200 dollars and told the owner of the fancy restaurant to keep the change as a tip.
This story might seem very normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is:
Why do we always have to show that we have power when we buy from people in need?
And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity?
We once read somewhere that a father bought goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn't need these things. Sometimes he paid more. His children were amazed. One day they asked him, "Why do you do that, Dad?" The father replied, "It's charity, wrapped in dignity."
I know that most of you won't share this post, but if you're one of the people who took the time to read this far...
Then this message of an attempt at "humanity" has taken a step in the right direction.
Thanks for reading.

¡30 AÑOS DE CÁRCEL POR SER UN ESTUDIANTE BRILLANTE!
Este es GABRIEL JESÚS BARROS ROMERO.
Tenía 23 años, notas impecables y estaba a un paso de graduarse como Ingeniero en Computación. El 6 de agosto de 2017, el régimen venezolano le robó el futuro.
Lo condenaron a la PENA MÁXIMA: 30 AÑOS DE PRISIÓN.
EL ABSURDO JUDICIAL:
* Es un CIVIL, pero lo juzgaron por "rebelión militar".
* Lleva casi una década sepultado en vida en el peor circuito carcelario: Ramo Verde, Yare III, Rodeo III y la Mínima de Carabobo.
La CIDH le otorgó medidas cautelares de protección en 2020 por el peligro inminente que corre su vida. Las autoridades IGNORAN el mandato internacional. Su cuerpo se debilita cada día más tras las rejas, sin atención médica.
¡Gabriel NO es una cifra! ¡Es una juventud entera secuestrada por pensar diferente!
Míralo bien. Comparte su rostro. Rompe el silencio. El olvido es el peor aliado de la injusticia.
¡LIBERTAD PLENA E INMEDIATA PARA GABRIEL BARROS!
