How narrow minded these educated people are

I delibrately wanted to write this one as, this incident is urging my mind & heart since yesterday. I live in an well known flats at OMR ,Chennai. Almost thr r 20 houses in this flats. Everyday an old man of age around 70 comes to almost every house here and sells leafy vegetables like Spinach, Drumstick leaves, coriander, curry leaves etc. Anything tats good for health n home delivered is always a good charm for us. So, she was a regular visitor. Recently a new association was formed in the apartment n thy threw many new rules. This old man, is welknwn to me. So, he spends lil time at my home either talking to me or to my mom, telling us abt his own life. I knw how poor he is and i respect his hardwork, so wenever I see him anywere, how much ever i get in hand, like either 20, 50 or 100 bucks, i give him. I keep this as a habit. he too happily accepts it as he alwys treats me as his son n pampers me. he often worries abt my health, (Corporate late works) n brings some good spl green vegetables for me to have. So,it was a kinda loving relation we had between us. But recently he stopped coming to our house n cudnt find him anywere in the apartment too. Yesterday morning, while on my way to office, I found him sitting along the roadside. Was happy to see him back again cas, my mind was thinking something else abt him. When, i asked abt his absence,he immediately started weeping n told me tat, its our apartment association officials who told him not to come hereafter. ""Thy said, I should not use d lift to sell vegetables, for which the residents have to d pay electricity bill along with their house maintanence. So,thy told me if I want to sell my things I shud use the staircase. If not,tat wud be the last day for me to enter into the apartment.U tell me, how can I climb all the 7 floors. Now my income is completely gone. Am sick n my son is not taking care of me as i cudnot give him a penny for past a week. Dono y still God is letting me stay in this ugly world??."" Hearing all these just hurted me very badly. I gave sum money for him to get medicines and left for d office. Afterall I knw i cannot do anything in this. But tat disturbed me a lot. Cursed God for d lack of humanity even amidst well educated people. Rules can be rules.. But tat shud not stand b4 humanity. Our apartment kids use theses lifts for playing hide n seek n to go up n down just for fun. Tats just a moment of happiness for the children.But for this old man its his life , its his bread… Y don these people understand this..Cant we pay a mere amount as common electricity bill for others to let them live in this world??? 

How narrow we humans are. ??? So how do we deal with these type of people?
