my good deed for the day..
...last year I saw this poor old bugger in his late 60's filthy dirty ..picking up anything metal for scrap. While I was watching him in this fast food area car park I watched in dismay at people tossing their garbage out the window, he would scuttle over to see what he could salvage.So I drove up to him and tossed something at him, 20BD ($50)..he cried and sat on the kerb thanking Allah..
Anyway my good deed for today was to pay for a women to see her kids she hadn't seen in 2 years. She worked in Kuwait as a maid and her sponsors treated her badly, locked her in her room for 2 days with no food or water because she complained. She managed to escape and get back to Manila where she resides with her cousin looking for a job.
She hasn't managed to see her kids in two years..so last week i got her a flight to her home town and some extra money for present for her kids.
Some people piss money up the wall smoking or drinking, or complaining that life is shite...get a life !.
Those sceptics out there will say ..oh but you sure she went and not spent your money..yes i am sure..got the photos to match...$75 was not much for a flight and i got great satisfaction with her gratification of my help.
I'm not here to blow my own trumpet, but some of you here need a kick up the arse..mopeing around feeling sorry for yourself..there is always somebody worse off.

Someone who is all about themselves won't ever be happy methinks. Also, who wants to be with someone like that?
I had people helping me when I had a tough time and I will never forget that.

It should just be a way of life, with no payback of any kind.
I thought you wasn't going to be here as much since you started your LDR ...
Regarding your good deeds I agree entirely. This world is in need of such people to bring some positive energy.
I myself cannot give money but do volunteer work and also gives things away to charity shops.
I wrote a blog about paying it forward which was inspired from the movies.
