Nice and warm

My heart felt nice and warm

My soul was lightly afloat

My brain wanted me to feel like stupid,

but i didn't let it.  

A woman sitting on the floor

trying to sell kerupuk

my heart told me she was happy

my soul kept seeing her smile

My brain told me: she cheated you.

I didn't care

The woman had 50 ringgit

I had peace of mind

I had love in my soul

I had 50 ringgit less

She may have cheated me

But I did not care

I talked back to my mind

Please dear mind,

Intelligence is kindness

nothing more, nothing less

It is your task to help me be intelligent

Thanks dear heart, Thanks dear soul

And thanks my mind, for giving in so easily

and accepting that your greatest gift, intelligence

is kindness, the highest form of intelligence.

A small explanation: outside of the bank, there are always some people begging. In the past, i felt that that was a bit opportunistic. Today, it was quite late, not many people around. The lady sitting outside of the bank was selling kerupuk (fish crackers). Somehow my heart took pity on her and i gave her RM 50. Immediately after that, my mind was not happy about it, but in my heart I was convinced that I did the right thing :)
