Jim was a 25 year old who lived in a rundown flat. He leads a rather sad life some might call it. No companion, not enough money for the yelling man every month, doesnt have good clothes and such. His works as a waiter at Mcdonalds which will get him no where.
He takes the subway back home to and fro from work. One day, as he was travelling back home in the train, a man sat next to him. From the way this man dressed and smelled you could tell that he was homeless. The homeless man looked at him and asked...
"If you were put in a situation where your next action or your next answer will either deny your faith or make you lose your world, what would you do?"
The man answered back,"What do I have in this world? All I have is a job with a pay that doesnt even meet my basic needs. My parents died violently in a car crash and fortunately I'm the only the child or I'll have to moan for more deaths. I dont know any uncles and aunts. I dont have much friends. And oh yea the only bloody entertainment I get is my dad's old playboy magazines. It still kinda creeps me out that I'm jerking off to the same stuff my dad did. So yea I'll think I'll take faith thank you. Cause right now it seems to be one of the things I only have right now."
"No, what if you had everything"
"Everything?"
"Yes, everything your heart desires"
"Well then thats simple.."
"Is it?"
"Yea...I would pick my world over my faith"
Just in time they arrived at the next station the homeless man smiles and says,"Well this is where I get off"
Jim was puzzled and asked,"Where do you got to be? I mean you being homeless and all."
"Jim, everyone goes somewhere"
With that, the homeless man walks off leaving Jim pondering over what he has just said.
