Sometimes a little kindness is often worth more than a great deal of money.

Dharniel:
I have no intention of boring you with no epistle neither am I seeking attention. I just want to view people's different opinions on a decision I took a few days ago.
There's a colleague in my place of work who is a pastor (not full time). he uses a small Nokia phone while I use an infinix hot 2 together with a small itel. The colleague came to me asking if I could exchange my itel with his Nokia phone reason because the itel phone has internet connectivity while the Nokia phone only has torch light. He claims he hasn't been online for a couple of months, in summary he just want to surf the net. I, being so generous and simple thought to myself, I do have a better one I browse with, so I decided to do the exchange. few weeks later, he was ready to return my phone, he told me but I wasn't with his phone so I told him I would bring it the following day.
Fast forward to the next day, I got to the office before him, and on sighting him I remembered I wasn't with his phone, right there I made a U turn without him seeing me, I went back home to get his phone and rushed back to the office. After the first quarter of the day, he came to my office only for him to explain how the phone got stolen the previous day where he went to charge (I blame PHCN for that). Then he asked me, what should we do. I got so dumbfounded and confused, I thought for a while and decided to let go. I gave him his phone and told him to forget about the idea of getting me a new phone, cuz it seems to me like revenge.
on getting home, I explained everything to my mom only for her to shade me and lambast my action. she said I acted so foolishly and made my consciousness sour. now please Nigerians, have I acted in a kind manner like my conscience tells me or foolishly as my mom said?

I'm still not sure if his "pastorial calling" influenced my decision or not.
An act of kindness, especially when you can afford it, can never be foolishness.

Don't blame yourself for the act of kindness. If under the cover of pastoral standing, he tricked u then he's reward awaits him.

ASSUMING IT WAS D BIG PHONE U GAVE HIM AND HEARD D STOLEN STORY, WOULD U HAVE ALSO LET GO??
#JUSTTHINKING#

can't give him my other phone in the first place, so there would be no chance for such occurrence.

You did well, for not recompensing evil with evil. But don't ever get carried away by the fact that someone is a pastor or an Imam. Most of those so called men of God are thieves and fraudsters looking for easy target to prey on. They are always so quick to quote the aspect of the scripture that suits their selfish interest. It's better to do business with a free thinker than to do with the so called pastors or imams
