Pay It Forward

Have you ever helped some random person you encountered when they were obviously struggling with whatever they were doing at the time?  Have you helped an old lady cross the street? Rescued a pet from certain death? Talked to someone who appeared upset or down and out?

A story:

I was just leaving a business the other day on my way to my car when I noticed two lovely elderly women waiting patiently to cross the road and a long line of cars waiting, as well, for them to cross.  I saw the confusion in everyone and quickly assessed that these ladies were waiting for the light to change to green.  The problem with that was they were actually at a stop sign at a small feeder road and the light they were waiting for was at the next, albeit close, intersection.  I approached the ladies and helped them cross the road, they were grateful, as were all the waiting vehicles.  Good deed for the day.
