So I thought to myself, should I really have picked it up in the first place? If I leave this bill on the ground in hopes that its owner returns to claim it, surely someone not far behind and in no greater need of it will pick it up instead. And does someone else truly deserve such good fortune any more than I do? Certainly not!
Then I thought to myself, it’s only five dollars surely someone will chance upon who needs it more than I do, or let’s say needs it more than I WANT it. But then I neatly dispensed with that notion for much the same reasons used to rationalize the previous dilemma.
Finally, I thought, what I’ll do is give it to the next homeless or otherwise unfortunate person, or possibly street entertainer or musician that I encounter en route to my destination. But my walk was probably no more than 500 feet or so and, although I have from time to time encountered a needy person on the very same short route before, there was not a soul in my path that was loitering, begging or otherwise in apparent need of my new found currency. So I placed it in my pocket and entered the building.
What do you think?
