This is Dobri Dobrev. Aged 98, he is a Bulgarian WWII veteran. He lives 10km outside Bulgaria Capital, Sofia. Everyday he walks the 10k to the city capital, to beg for money.Strangely enough, Dobrev isn’t begging for himself. He manages to live with a 80 euros pension (roughly 100 usd) a month. All the money that he has collected over the years, an estimated 40.000 euros (50k usd) have been donated by him to orphanages unable to pay their bills. Remember. he’s not begging for him. It’s for orphanages. Yet, he frequently kisses the and that drops a coin in his tin, and thanking them for their charity.Some call him “The saint of Baylovo”, his place of birth. And, this year he will be 100 years old. As one might expect, he is cherished by everybody. They call him “Dyado Dobri” (Grandpa Dobri) and become to represent the Good that can be done in the most selfishness way possible.So, if you’re in need of a role model, here’s one. It’s the best that you can find. Probably you’ll never be like him. As i wont. But you can try. As i do. And if we both try hard enough, and get more two people to try hard enough, and those two people get more two each, and so on, soon, we all will be much better persons and, as a result, the world will be a much better place.A veces, estamos tan poco acostumbrados a la bondad, que una manifestación así de humanidad te desarma por completo. -- source link
