Yesterday afternoon a man in his early to mid-20s had just undone the front wheel of a bicycle and was walking away with it when the owner of the bike approached him and in a gentle and polite tone suggested to the thief that it was his wheel. It was a quick release wheel.
The thief turned around, said a word or two under his breath and left the wheel down on the ground.
It appeared that the thief was high on drugs.
What would have happened if the bicycle owner had approached the man in an aggressive and angry fashion?
The most he would have got for the wheel would have been €20, if he was lucky. What a way to live.
It's another side of life. When one sees something like that surely one wonders and asks who is there to help that young man.
People sit around tables and in congress halls talking about 'evangelisation', naval gazing, attempting to fill a vacuum
The reality is so different

Were you the owner?
Is that not an odd comment from someone who wishes to remain anonymous?
All will be revealed on Easter Saturday in The Irish Times.
