Just pass it on

#1
I was shopping one day at the grocery store and this lady in this old beat up beater car asked me for a jump. Her battery was all corroded and the cables were loose. So I clean up everything and jump her battery. Took me about 1/2 an hour and she trys to give me 5 bucks( I could tell it was a lot of money to her) . I just told her no,just help somebody out sometime .

Isn't it good just to pass it on when someone does you right?

That's actually a nice thought. This way people can help each other more instead of just ignoring the needy.

Helping people out when they need is a good thing. Not just passing by thinking "Others are not helping either besides I don't have enough time" If it's urgent for you to reach somewhere then it's okay but think of it, how many times do we sit in our room watching tv or scrolling Insta, aren't we are wasting some of our time on doing that? I mean how helpful would it be if you can just spend a little time helping someone, it's not a time waste, think of those needy people, how they feel when we help them out with a smile on, it literally makes them so happy :) And am sure you will also feel glad when you do that but I must say this, the "Pass it on" system is great! Atleast it won't be like "That boy helped me cross the road and I gave him $5 to repay for his kindness" "OVER" "He helped me, I repayed, done" "I helped him, he repayed me, done " NAH bro we are not doing business here, later that kid will help the old man again and ask for money again and so on.... To spread the kindness over people say "Pass it On" yes, Pass it on :)

My experience is more:
A good deed never goes unpunished.

That made me consider carefully if I should help someone before I do it.

One time I didn't got punished for helping someone was when I ran after a heart starter device. The guy survived and nobody have prosecuted me for it.

Don’t do tha in London.. you’ll get mugged, shot or stabbed. Diversity is such a wonderful thing... so they tell us... but I applaud you for your actions as I would do the same... just not in London.

imagine, a 80 yrs old English lady taking a Lewis gun out of her bag, or a corgi holding a hand grenade in its mouth...

whatever, I won't be afraid. helping is a priority, dying is sometimes a secondary thing when you are not a great person who made history.

so if I go to London and I come across an old lady with a machine gun, I help her cross the road (it's heavy to carry a machine gun!) and I give her ammunition.

and I give whiskas to the corgi.
