[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16700520, member: 6727"] Kindness can, and should be, contagious. Passing it forward so to speak. I like the anonymous part because if you are generous routinely, people CAN believe you're doing it for personal recognition. There are times where the person will know who is giving the blessing, but just doing it anonymously can be best at times. [USER=117234]@Blkkbgt[/USER], I share your desire to someday be in a grocery store and find people in REAL need to help out financially with their groceries. The ones I DON'T want to give money to are the people who routinely stand outside at intersections holding signs stating they are homeless and need help. But....they're out there every day and I've seen patterns of switching off to other people. A majority of those are not really homeless (at least the ones that I've seen here locally) but are local people who choose not to work and live on handouts. We had 2-3 "teams" of "homeless" standing at the entrance to our local Costco for at least 9 months. Same people every day. One in particular looked very healthy and obviously worked out somewhere. Finally, Costco must have contacted the local police and there's been nobody there, along with a no-soliciting sign. Giving routinely to genuine people in need is a real desire of mine, and my wife. We've given to people we don't know, but we don't do it enough. I want to be in a position to do it whenever and wherever there is a real need. [/QUOTE]
