Sometimes people just need a little bit of help instead of having people making fun of them. After all, we are all here to live in community with one another. Marcus Pass knows as well as anyone that we have a duty to love each other and treat people with respect.
So you can imagine the disappointment Marcus felt when a young guy in a chicken joint took the time to laugh and joke about a man in need, rather than go help him out.
Marcus wrote on Facebook:
”Eating lunch at Zaxby’s and overhear some young man laughing about an older gentleman in the bathroom that couldn’t get off the toilet.”
He made his way to the restroom where he could hear the older gentleman crying.
“I ask him if he’s ok; he said that his legs were too weak to stand up and he left his cane by the door.”
Without even thinking, Marcus asked the man to unlock his door. He immediately helped him back to his feet, and got his pants up for him.
The man was wearing a hat that said “Vietnam veteran” across the front. He fought for our freedom, and this young guy that was out there making fun of him wouldn’t even give him the time of day.
He hugged Marcus and with tears in his eyes told him that he’s 69 years old and that was the most embarrassing moment of his life.
