What would you do if you found millions of dollars in the woods in a wrecked plane? Would you go directly to the police or would you stop and think about the consequences of keeping it? We watched a movie, A Simple Plan, which brought these and other questions to thought as we saw this multifaceted dilemma unfold. While we may not have such dramatic choices in daily life, there are many instances presented to us which give an opportunity to test our morality. For instance, if the grocery checker gives you too much change, or when you see someone drop something of value without realizing it — well, the list is endless. Thinking about this has caused me to be more aware of being kind when I could be indifferent. There have been organized movements which foster good behavior, such as, Pay It Forward, or doing random acts of kindness. Yes, I’m going to be more aware of needs and try to fill the void when I see it. Ah, that’s the secret: seeing the need!!
"The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father, and blessed is that man who seeth his brother's need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another's good." Mary Baker Eddy
