Why you should be a good samaritan

rubahOh, right.
This happened like a week ago, but I kept forgetting to post it.
Stu and I were driving down this street (two lanes) to go to some stores by the mall and we noticed there were a ton of cars in the oncoming lane. There was a little red car with a lady trying to turn left and since it was just two lanes, no one could go around her since she couldn't turn. So I slowed down and let her turn, and as I drove on, I realized the line of car was much much much longer than I had thought. We're talking 50 or more cars perhaps. 50-80 people that were all waiting on one woman in a little red car that just wanted to get home at 6pm.
The sheer magnitude of a good deed like this just really floored me. I mean it blew my small mind. That one simple act of courtesy could have such long reaching reprecussions like that.
So kids, do your good deeds because they might be more far-reaching than you think.
