I was just grocery shopping and mysteriously had an extra 90$ on my foodcard. So I exclaimed to the cashier, “wow i love surprise extra money”. The person in line behind me said, “i wish i got surprise money”. So I took 5$ and tossed it in her bag, she said “No Wait Dont!” but I had already spun around and was on my way out of the store.
So what was that? Good or bad?
A good deed because it was kindness and generousity? Did her stating she didnt want it make it immoral and thus i should have stayed so she could give it back? Did it all happen as it was supposed to so that she would display herself as nonneedy, I could do the kindness, and, by leaving before anything could change, the state of reality was frozen as is for us beings within?
Please tell me whether I’m good or evil; thank you! :)
It was a nice thing to give a random stranger something they could actually use. If she felt she did not actually need that, she can easily give $5 to another stranger. Since none of us on the internet were actually there, we really can’t judge since we didn’t see your or her expression, or tone of voice. Being nice is not a bad thing. You were genuinely nice with no agenda or malice, that’s the line between good/bad.
