A Drug-Addict who died a Hero

This is the man who I have seen with my own eyes. The Man who have touched my heart so much and proved to me that 'It’s never late to become a Hero and to win the heart of others’. This man was none other than a normal man who roamed the streets. The man whom most people passing him whispers in his back. The outcast who slept on the streets and the burden of the family who ashamed his family to the society.

He walk the streets searching what to steal and whom to cheat. He sold what he stole, at prices whatever the buyers what to give just to meet the cost of some tablets or powder that will make him smile. Once he gets what he wants, he is the happiest man, but all to himself alone. It doesn't matter where he lie or he walks, be it the canal or among the stray dogs, he smiles and enjoy to himself.


A shame to his parents and to his sister, no one would be proud to be called his relative or family. He spent his life for 15 years, bringing shame and poverty to his family for he has sold all that he could grab from their home. His mom would say that she was happy on him only the day she was told that a boy was born to her. And his dad and sister sometimes wishes him to die soon in order have a normal family life again. His life was filled with shame and darkness that no light will ever penetrate.

But, things turned out to be different as days passed. He could not roam around the streets anymore, nor could he steal anything or sell anything. All he was left with was an empty room where he lied on a cot in front of a Black and White television set. He was not eating the drugs anymore but the drugs were eating all his body. He was thin and weak. His family need to give him his dose of narcotics or heroin to keep him alive.

He was forgotten, rejected by all but was stilled loved so much by someone he has never met in his life. It was none other than his creator. God. He met his Savior on a television show by hearing it from a preacher. Then he realized how much Jesus loved him. He came to realize how Jesus died with shame and pain because of him. So at last he decided not to cause any shame to his family or spent on any drugs again.

He declared heroin and all related stuffs as his enemy and strengthen himself to fight back. He pronounced himself a hero to fight against drugs. The doctors warned him and his family that he would not live even a week without the drugs that run into his veins. But he has made his decision and said, "I am going to die anyway, so I will choose to die because of NOT taking drugs rather than dying as an overdose".
