The funny thing about it was I didn't feel good about it afterwards. And I didn't really talk about it. I only told two people about it.
I thought doing nice things for people was supposed to make you feel good about yourself...
And I keep thinking about the person who was involved. I wonder how he is. He might even be dead, I've no idea.
He probably doesn't remember me, if he is still alive. I probably didn't even really help him. If I did, it couldn't have really changed anything.
I wonder how often acts of charity actually make a real difference.
I think every act of charity is a judgement call. There's always a certain lack of certainty with the outcome, but on balance you feel that it may have a chance of making a difference...
