Character Sketch

It's a Character Sketch

I met this known evangelist on the road. Very joyfully he called put to me: ‘son’. I said  bluntly: ‘I have no money’. He turned his back and walked away from me.

I have known this shady, nothing-good character very long in life. Actually he is my cousin. When he was in 10^th grade, he became a drug addict and was hospitalized with medication. His father became fed up of him and desperately pleaded with my father to educate and cure him. My father was running a school and offered to help. Gradually my father weaned him off his medication and he used to have withdrawal symptoms. My father used to hug him and he was finally cured and wrote the exams and passed. Now well established: he visited me and asked how the school is doing? I said: it is doing well. He said: he will never send his son to my school as it is full pariahs (untouchables of India). I became aghast at his words. What a shallow remarkable character is he? He does not have even an iota of gratitude.
