Yep eskie,it's getting complex and dangerous. I would like to share something that I faced one time.I was grocery shopping.I like cooking and like to learn and try recipes from different countries .I was in an ethnic isle looking for ingredients since the labels were in a language I am not familiar with,I was trying to figure out.I noticed a 11-12 year old girl and a small boy following me.This is not a regular isle ,but an ethnic one and I was the only one there.I went to another shelf,and lo and behold they were there again.The girl was even staring at me.I started wondering why ?After a while I noticed an adult couple telling them something and handed something over to the girl.All were kind of looking at me.I was kind of curious to what was going on.I wanted to just stop shopping and go home,but didn't. I was noticing my surroundings and started putting stuff in my cart,and proceeded towards check out.This girl came up to me and blocked the way,I looked at her and she put up something near my face that looked like a paper.It was a coloured print of a severed limb with blood all over.,it was gross.The girl said two words,help ,money.I didn't understand the connection between the severed limb and helping .I almost chuckled at this point.I said I donot have money with me.She pulls a list out and says buy me ,credit card.I understood she is asking me to buy groceries using my credit card.Wow. ..By this time I was in the line at the check out. I could see from the corner of my eye,three able bodied adults and that small boy staring at us.Did I buy her those items from her list? No....and I sternly said No and checked out.Does it make me a non compassionate person.Maybe a couple of people in the check out line thought so.
