On a cold winter morning, an old man sat
against a wall at Sydney's Circular Quay station. I
glanced his way for a moment but disregarded him and walked on.
On my way home that afternoon, I saw the
same man in the same place.
Two ambulance attendants were beside him. This
time my step paused. He
was old and in rags.
Shame rocked me. He must
have suffered a lot in such cold weather. No one
stopped. No
one cared. Out
of sight, out of mind.
A different season and I again came across
an old man half lying on the footpath. Caught in the familiar rush, I
barely glanced at him.
However, the memory of the old Winter Man came back to me. I
walked back to the man on the ground. He was dressed in smart clothes. I knelt
down to ask if he was OK.
A flow of people kept walking by. He
regained consciousness, though weakly, and it might be a good idea to call an
ambulance, which I did.
He said to me, "Nobody
stopped. Thank
you. "Fighting
back tears, I asked his name.
"Greg, "he said. We
looked into each other's eyes for a moment. As the
approaching ambulance's siren proclaimed the arrival of help, a number of
emotions rushed at me.
I felt sadness pulling my heart for the Winter Man and shame
that I had almost walked past another person in need. I was
amazed that it had been so easy to be helpful.
