Just because I say I don’t want to eat the last fish pack we have left doesn’t mean I don’t want it. I just prefer you have it instead of me. But to save your pride from denying such charities, I must say that I’m quite full or that I don’t like fish much. This is an action done out of selflessness; when you give without intent or holding weight over another’s heart. You cannot put down a friend, for you are equals, let alone a human. But to act such ways to a stranger, who will rise to such occasions? Who will give a needy homeless man money knowing he’s out to con? He might go buy beer, and act distastefully in public, and get locked up for disturbing the public at the mall. Which could result in him changing his life or finding a Higher Power in jail.

You see, sometimes when you give out of kindness and not let a negative thought dictate your moves with endless excuses, you just might understand that feeling that you are a part of a grander plan that is invisible to the physical eye. You might see him in a Mercedes one day and he might offer you a job much better than yours. Or you might see him in prison upstate and he might save your life in battle. You need to believe that the effect multiplies when you pay it forward. Out chain of actions derive from a sensitive thought. A simple hello. And maybe a promising goodbye.
