Good deed and business

I went for a quick lunch today at my favorite food court. However instead of buying from my usual Korean/Japanese shop which sells sushi and teriyaki don, I went and tried another Japanese fast food stalls which served Tempura don. After buying my tempura don, I walked passed the quiet Korean/Japanese shop. The lady owner who usually doesn't smile, peeped at me (from the corner of my eye) then she walked back to the kitchen. After my meal, I thought probably I will buy a take away from my usual shop. I ordered seafood dumplings from her then I stood next to the display boxes of sushi and spring rolls near the cashier counter. After a few minutes while she was cooking, she walked towards me and asked me to sit down. I told her it's ok because I have been sitting down whole day. Then she said, but you are "blocking" my stalls! Then I walked further away from the shop. I was thinking to myself, first of all, there was nobody buying from her, and this order was really unnecessary for me. I did it out of good deeds, and I wasn't entirely blocking the whole shop, I was basically standing near the counter. I told myself, probably we shouldn't be executing good deeds when unnecessary. At the end of the day business is more important. I love money!

To forgive or not to forgive

Few weeks ago,I read in a local newspaper where an elderly man was selling some charity souvenirs near a tourist attractions. Later the newspaper took his picture and exposed him as the formerly child pedophile. He has served his jail time when he was younger. However, the way the newspaper painted him was like he is still a dangerous man, and how can he be selling souvenirs for charity company. The writer demand such people need to be verified before another saga is being made. I was reading and at the same time shaking my head in disbelief. Is this how unforgivable a human can be. So what do you want him to do instead? He has paid what he had done in the past, now he's trying to make a living. Are we assuming he will attack again? He is doing business on a broad daylight street, not on a quiet alley. What the possibilities it will go wrong? Even if kids wants to buy something from him, the possibility an adult will accompany them and pay for the item. In my opinion I just feel it's unfair. I think the way it was written was to determine he's not be seen anywhere and hopefully he will disappear silently. Out of sight out of mind, but in reality, it's does not work that way!
