I've told the following story before. I found this envelope in a food chain store and noticed $75.00 dollars with a visa bill in it. To make a long story short, I went to pay the lady's bill at the bank which was around the corner. The manager called the husband at work and all he did was yell and scream over the phone for his wife losing the envelope. He never thought of thanking me. The bank manager was stunned! Yeah, I didn't even get a thanks.
Another time, a bank teller gave me an extra $200.00. I told her to count it. She said she was right, I said, count it again. She still couldn't figure out what I was doing until I told her she gave me an extra $200.00! Her faced turned white and her eyes almost popped out of her sockets. Yes, she thanked me. I've told this story to some locals and they said, they would have kept the money.
I'm a strong believer in 'what goes around does come around.' Well, folks, I'm off to the local coffee shop.

today while i was out shopping for a system for my truck and school supplies, there was a man who looked mentally challenged outside the store. he was carrying a clotheless baby doll. i just felt guilty like i should do something, but i didn't know what i couldve done. or if he even needed help at all. i just felt something. i wish i had that power to make things right. only the rich have that power.

felt guilty like i should do something
Just dropped in to check active topics and came across this. Tsunami - that's compassion - it proves that you truly care about other people and that you're alive!!
You should realise, you DID do something - you connected to where the guy was, and shared (however you believe - collective consciousness, spiritually, whatever you choose to call it) in his condition.
Hope that makes sense!

no i did nothing, i just went in the store and bought my system. but i used my credit card. i was broke and it will be a bill i'll have to pay in the future. the only money on me was pennies and nickels. how can we help others when we ourselves are in need of help? i'm poor, i still need an education, i dont even have a career yet, and i want to travel the world, learn about the cultures and history, and help people. i want to get married to that sweet woman out there, who i can love and love back who will die in my arms, and have kids. i want to be their mentor and disciplinarian at the sametime. i want to raise them into a normal life and put them through college without inflicting headaches on them. i want to have grandchildren, a legacy, to tell my story to. i want to die successful and fulfilling. i have a far ways to go.
