The people we should pay forward to are the ones who feels depressed like things are not going quite well in their life, and when we find someone who has this thoughts, it will be very good for us to give them our time, till they change that state of mind and believed in their self once again.
Honestly, I have encountered something like this with someone I know, and what happens was that, he hardly accept to met with me, each time I asked him we should meet, and have times together, he would dodge and change the topic.
I was not thinking about why he might be doing that, but later on, it became out of control and I could not bear his reactions but to gave it some reasoning, there were times I thought about it like, "if I have done him something wrong ? because, I was not seeing reasons why he would be avoiding me, even as playful and nice I am to him.
Therefore, this particular day, I stepped out to buy some fruits, there I met with his neighbor, we exchanged plassantry's and I asked the guy if my friend was around, he told me that he saw him last night, but he hasn't seen him that afternoon.
I know quite well that something was wrong, although, I didn't know what it was, after I got home, I have to checked on him, on getting there, I find his apartment not locked, but I knocked on the door and no one opened, that was when I get in.
I saw him lying down in the parlour and I was short of words, I wanted to asked him, why he refused to opened the door, but i realized he was going through a lot and I decided to let the complaint I wanted to make go and was now after how to make him feel better.
I saw on the floor of his house some bet slips and according to him, he said that, betting has taken a far sum of money from him, honestly, I know the feelings like throwing away valuables when we lose money in bet, so I think of what to do to make him believe in himself again and know that it wasn't the end of his life.
I went inside his kitchen but he didn't had a lot of foodstuffs in the house, that I could have make a meal for him, so I told him, we need to go outside, so that he can eat and I will have my lunch as well.
We went into an eatery and order for garri and soup, it was after eating that I now was talking to him, and letting him knows that he should leave betting and even if he does it, he shouldn't be betting with all his money, knowing quite well that money is hard to come by, especially, on these days.
Beside, he should have come to my place and share what happened to him with me, he told me his reasons of not coming was that, he was ashame to meet me, because, I asked him of cash few days ago and he refused to gave me, even while the money was with him, he lied to me.
I let know even as that, this was a different thing altogether, anyway, he should try and be honest and he should stop betting, since he does not know how to play the game.
