In Buddhism, we were always be reminded to practise generosity to avoid  rebirth in poverty. Most of time , when we are strolling down the street, it is either we are so attached with  the gadgets or rushing to the destination where we simply bypass those in needs and homeless. How many of us will notice this unfortunate beings and be a good Samaritan ? This French lady is indeed extremely kind and compassionate . I believe one does not have to be rich in order to help those less fortunate and helpless .One who practices generosity will have wealth through all their lifetimes.

What Karine Gombeau doing is beautiful, I like that she cares and thinks for the homeless. Although its leftover pizza but it is still food. What important is that she have a good motivation. In the busy city, it is full of people who only care about making money, getting their job done. Perhaps they don’t even notice the homeless. The society now is very materialistic. Being kind and compassionate is our nature and we should always practice and show that to others.
