If a man walked up to you and requested for $2, would you give him? What if he pleaded that he had left his wallet or sth like that and he needed just $1, One buck will do, to get home? Ride the bus home? I gave in. It was risky. I declined the request along some quiet lane here. But he pleaded and I thought if it was alright people giving away some pennies for a stranger's bus fare at the busstop, it might be the same situation here. I was hesitant. I reluctantly mentioned Wait, and began digging first into my Fila bag, then my handbag...(i was carrying 3 bags that day) and he advanced towards me knowing i was willing to offer help. and I retreated! Dang It! It was so risky he might snatch my wallet away! So i turned slightly around to take out a $1 coin. Then i was so afraid he might snatch my bags and run off... Dang it! I handed him the coin precariously like Seriously!!! and he thanked me and even mentioned god bless you...
I really wonder if he could have been a crook, or just any helpless stranger looking for a good samaritan, but.. he could have seriosly took out a penknife to make me hand over all my valuables and... and... snatched my bags and run away?? BUt i couldnt run away along this street in the lazy afternoon, he could have threatened me and snatched my stuff nonetheless??? What would you do? What would you have done? =X
I didnt have the guts to recount to mum, she would chide me.
But if it were really a penniless man trying to get home, its just a dollar I would have sacrificed. But But.
I hate it when such issues are so ... controversial I cannot get an Answer, at all.

These are the times you gotta make a decision on the spot, and if it were a mistake, you dont blame your innocent, genuine heart.
Its just an ideallic world you wanna imagine it to be, ay?
