A few days ago, the platform at the train station had emptied, I met a distraught young man. In halting German, he said he was from Burundi. He was wounded but had been medically attended to. He said he was hungry. I gave him some money and he fell to his knees, I couldn't prevent it. He opened his small suitcase and offered me one of his very few belongings as a gift. I refused. He insisted. We agreed - that I'd take it, then offer it back to him. I think he was relieved. Rich & poor man. Hard.
