foOd for ThOught

as i was making my way out of the gym in somerset walking towards thai embassy, i have came across 1. the usual indian lady selling packets of tissue paper at the traffic light junction just outside the gym and 2. an elder uncle both singing and selling packets of tissue paper (again) at the traffic light junction of Taka...
from what i see hardly anyone pays attention to them and buy the tissue paper. has it become so common to see elderly people selling tissue paper on the road that no one bothers? or have they already bought from the indian lady and thus there is no business for the old man?
while i was standing opposite the traffic light, i saw this middle-age lady shunning away from the indian lady maybe because the indian lady looks a little unkempt and somewhat "dirty"? not sure how many of you were approached by her before but she can approached me twice when i was just standing there to cross the road.
i was thinking, i can buy from the indian lady and also from the old man but how many of them can i buy from? i can help one but i can't help all, isn't it? or is this just an excuse? if there are five of them on the street of orchard road and end up buying from each of them, i would have more packets of tissue paper that can last me 2 weeks...
but anyway! that is just me set myself thinking...
