Comment	On my last day of uni I went a walk about Glasgow and decided to ask one of my mates if he wanted to come into Glasgow for a few pints. I was waiting for him at the entrance to Glasgow central right next to four corners McDonald’s under that mad bridge. A guy came up to me and asked if he could get a few quid for a train. He went on a rant about how he lost his wallet and was in a rush to get home. At first I thought it probably wasn’t for the train but the guy was close to tears, telling me about how his daughter was sick and had just had an operation. I felt terrible for the guy decided to give him £3. The guy was over the moon. His eyes lit up and he kept thanking me for the cash. He could finally get the train back to see his daughter. As he was about to leave he said “listen mate, I wouldn’t expect anyone to give me money, but thank you, I know you probably think I’m a junkie, but you’ve helped me out a lot and I promise this is for the train” he then gave me a hug and walked into the station. After he went into the train station I couldn’t help but feel guilty for judging the poor guy. It really made me question myself and why I was so quick to jump to conclusions about someone I never knew, all because he was in a dodgy part of town asking for money. Who am I to judge? I don’t know what’s going on in peoples lives? Not everyone about here is on drugs. Then.. About 2 minutes later the same guy walks up to me and asked me if a had any scoobs haahahah. Can’t help but laugh looking back on it. Suppose that’s the four corners for you. Hope he managed to beat his addiction.
