I feel i have to share this which has been troubling me.

Well this happens to everyone. We see someone that could use our help but continue on our way for some reason or another. Then we think back and realize we could have helped them. It's human nature to just mind your own business, and its human nature to feel bad about it later. With me there was a time that I had maybe 20 dollars to my name, and there was a homeless person at the end of an offramp with a sign that said he was an american veteran and would work for food. I still feel bad because I thought I only have enough money to get me through right now and I can't give him any. But when I looked back I thought, I could have gave him a few dollars for some food or something, and I would have been okay without the few dollars. I suppose the best way to feel better about your situation is to make a promise to yourself to help someone else. Make the promise that the next time you see someone in need you will go out of your way to help them. That's what I did, and still do. I have given away the last few dollars I had in my pocket, and I feel better for it, they needed the money more than I did.

naseeha I have been thinking and I think had I been you I would have handed mom the baby and helped the man, and taken him to get another bottle of horlicks. not that you did anything wrong but you seemed to feel like you wished you had. that would have been one way to handle it. we so often get these ideas and we do not act on them then go away wishing that we had. I have done it too.

You do have a very kind heart if you felt sorry for the man and wished you could buy him another bottle. Your husband and child must be so lucky to have you as wife/mother. If I were faced with this but had my hands full at the time, I would have called out to him and asked if he needed any help. I understand why you didn't as it was raining and you wanted to shelter you baby as you awaited your husband. Did you fear what your husband might think if you approached the man with baby in tow? I am unsure what horlicks is, could you explain it to me? Have a Great day.

i cried when i see the message .i feel it if i am there picking the bottle and who knows my feelings .even u do not help him in the situation u have recall it back and thinking it was grade god sees your heart,u are so soft and u had a soft heart. yes we have to cry for the helpless people in our prayer why this situation to them too god bless them feed them heel them they are in sorrow we are helpless to help them every nook and corner they are living please look at them why they sleep on the street kids play in the streets why our kids sleep on the bed ,why the differencess.i am wearing good clothes but they do not.please every one have to take this matter in their prayer and help the as u could .a time i am filling my stomack, but the same time kids in hungery why loard you allowing this ??????

I have had similar situations many times in my life, but i take a lot of time to think whether to help or not and whether he wud accept my help or reject it and after deciding something, when i go forward to help that person, that person wud walk away... I am really very happy to know that you have a melting heart dear..well, i hope you could have helped him for sure since it was a horlicks bottle that broke and that must be either for a child or an ill person, i can understand your situation, but i hope you must have tried to call him through someone standing next to you, but even after your effort, if he does not respond properly to your concern and ignores you (which has happened many a times with me), you must have felt more worried than you are now... i know you are worried, but just try to analyze that situation and take that incident as a learning process in getting to know the meaning of life, it might have somthing to teach you deftnly...

good day..Just feeling sorry for that person and wishing that you could had done something back then already made you a better person. like one of mylotter advised you. You can help other people the next time they need it and you will make a big difference on that person and feel good as well. good luck.

Hi there naseeha, I feel for the man too, I hope he has another money to buy another one! I admire your sympathy for him but can't blame you too since it was raining and you have your baby with you but I also understand how you felt since I will be feeling that too but anyway, we will just wish any member of his family was helping him...Cheers!

This is one of those things that you wish that you could have helped but you couldn't at the time. If you didn't have your little one with you it would have been different but there was nothing that you could do. I guess from time to time there are things that you have no control over and this was one of those times. So don't feel bad, if you could have help you would have. Just remember that you would have it you could have. Don't keep beating yourself up about it. If you could have you would have. Have a good one.

When there was a will, there could have been a way ....If you had so strongly felt ... you could have done it.....Look out for such other opportunities and never let them go

hahaha.. i'm laughing for myself 'cause i don't know what's horlick is. anyway, i researched it already, poor me. it's a malted milk, right? wrong? hehehe.. whatever. sweet of you. well, you can always try helping some more people who needs more than a horlick. stay nice.

I understand exactly how you feel, naseeha - that sort of thing stays on my mind for days afterwards and makes me feel really sad and upset for the person. You are a sweetheart to have wanted to buy him another bottle. I really hope he didn't try to use the horlicks, as it probably had bits of glass in it. Maybe he threw it away. Let's hope he did.

well first of i can say that your very kind hearted just like me. even i feel the same in the situation.but i feel that your handa are not free to help that person with a baby in your hands and your mom with you and raining heavily.dont worry about that, this wil make you help some one in the coming days.hope you wil surely do it.all the best. but dont forget to help some one when that type of situation occurs again,if u miss again you feel that again i missed and you cannot sit in your place. keep posting have fun enjoy mylotting.

hi naseeha, how are you. you really great pa.you are one of the nice person in this world.take care.i like your habbits.

U r a good man,I like you.But I think you can still did something in that case. If I were you,I would stop to talk with him,to get to konw weather he need my help. If he can't afford a horlicks bottle,I would buy one. When we pray we all wish the love of the god,and when we can help others,I think god will smile.

i understand what you felt...but i guess your hands was full during the incident...your so kind and i admire you for that..you must get it off in your conscience..theres really nothing you can do on that instant..be at peace ok..

naseeha thanks for sharing your experience with mylotters here. It is now in the past, so that event has an impact on you which is a good thing. Maybe you can buy a bottle or two of Hollick and find a means to give it to someone at the hospital or similar who might be in need. An old folks home will probably do, and next time you see a bottle of hollicks IT will bring a cheerful smile to your face and your heart !

if everyone in the world as kind as you,the world will become warmer and more harmonious.you don't feel sad and sorry about this thing,sometimes we have no ability to help all those people who need help.some poor people have no enough food to eat,no enough clothes to wear.we just only express my sympathy to them,but don't have much capacity to help them.

Yes, maybe you can do more at that time and give that man a hand.It is common that now you are regretting hadn't lent a helping hand.Actually we can meet the similar events everyday and I have to face the situations like you.Certainly,I would later complain myself.So you do not have to feel to much anxiety about it,just do more next time.

It is nice that you have such a goodness in your heart. But, it seems as if you had enough on your plate at the time and were unable to help this gentleman. Please do not feel bad about this, I am sure that the opportunity to help another will arise and you can help someone else at that time :)

It's a very sad story and I understand what you mean. I remember one time going to the toy store with my mom and she was excited about getting me this one particular toy she had seen on TV. I don't know why it appealed to her so much, but I asked for another toy instead. I to this day will never forget it and I feel bad about it. Why didn't I just get the toy she wanted to get for me. There are little moments in life that sometimes you just never forget.
