Show Notes

I'm currently with 2 friends in Thessaloniki and want to share the story of 3 encounters with different beggars we've had here, and what we can learn from it.

One beggar was an aggressive hustler, a young boy who probably was forced to work for a gang.

One beggar was an proud old man who was selling pencils, who said that he's currently out of work and wants to make an income.

One beggar was an apologetic old lady full of sorrow that kept telling pitiful stories.

In today's episode, I share how each beggar moved us in a different way, and conveyed a different lesson about ourselves.
