Scenario #1.
If you think of it, picking up a nail you see in a parking lot saves your car tire or someone else's from a flat—New tire$25.00-$80.00+/depending on the tire or fix-it job. Just think: This simple act you did can buy an extra case of diapers rather than pay for a new tire just for picking up that stupid screw or nail/whatever.
Scenario #2.
You're in a good neighborhood. Then you see a distressed-looking older man standing at an intersection at a stoplight to your side. He looks worried. He's had many chances to cross but still stands there. You see him attempt, then pull back and wait.
Do you pull over (I was in my car) and help him?
I did.
Is it stupid to be a "good samaritan" nowadays? A waste of time? Is it considered odd or unwise? Is it even done any more for anything?
Does it help in your future good luck or karma? I wonder. It feels great, though, to help people.
