The Journey with the Blind Man.

The blog title sounds like the title of a fable doesn't it? Well the story does have a moral I guess: Give your seat up for blind people on the train. I had to make an announcment in the carriage today asking someone to give up their seat for a poor old man with a guide dog. How rude can Londoners get? No wonder Mayor Ken is having to introduce reminders about this on the tube. Apparently alot of pregnant ladies have been left standing. Rudeness! Don't people realise? Is it laziness? Have they been brought up badly? Can they not empathise with those less able to stand? Do they need a kick in the shins? What is it I wonder?

The guide dog was very handsome though. It was majestic in a way, like it was proud of the responsibility it had and the nobleness of its job. It was really big, standing tall, protecting its owner. It had big brown eyes, and soft labrodor-brown fur. Do dogs have fur? Or is it hair and then when it becomes a coat worn by Cruella Deville it becomes a fur coat? The only scary things were the claws. Ouch.

SubhanAllah there's a cute book about animas for kids by Harun Yahya, including the amazingness of dogs. Its a bit in your face dawah but cute nonetheless.

i think its a southern thing. Ppl here in the north are much better mannered.

Actually societies becoming less empathatic and more me me me. i find that i always have to give my seat up to elderly, pregnant etc people even though theres people who are sitting right where that person is standing, and so naturally should give their seat up first right? anyway i love giving my seat up-it gives me a happy feeling inside, as it helps to restore that persons faith in humanity...
