The obstacles I overlook.

I have many problems that I use parkour for other than just outdoor physical obstacles. Many people don't know how hard my life can be sometime, though I'm not complaining there are people in this world that have even hard issues. My point is Parkour to me is more than just how high of a wall run do you have and seeing pk in that way is extremely naive, but I don't judge you. We all have our different endeavors that we seek in this art.

Right now I'm thinking of the most difficult obstacle I've had... Generosity. I generally nice to people and kind, but I have my faults with this... Every time I go downtown a homeless person approaches me or the group I'm with and beg... They never want anything more than a few cents and I lie and walk by saying I have nothing knowing I have change in my pocket. Sometimes I'm walking by a child crying and I do nothing but look at him or her... I see a woman frustrated over the weeping of her baby and I just observe... Many times all a child needs a silly face or a smile and they stop right away... Why don't I do that? Why do I see someone carrying a bunch of groceries and I don't think to carry a few for him or her?

I have the power to help so much and bring smiles to people faces... What stops me from doing so?

Just another obstacle I guess.
