Do believe in 'paying it forward'?

Picklebobble256-60, M Best Comment
I'm a big advocate of this.

Doing something for somebody else because you know it's something they can't do for themselves. For whatever reason.

You have to be very careful with it. Not like you can DO certain things BELIEVING it will make THEIR lives EASIER as a result.

You have to get to KNOW the people you're doing it for.

But yes. I've found jobs for people. Places to stay for people. Organized travel for folk who didn't have the resources to get somewhere by themselves.
Taken people shopping for clothes or shoes or food.
Simple things like that.

@Phire1 You do if you seriously want to do something they can't do for themselves.

@Picklebobble2 No, ya don't

@Phire1 my friends, you do both have a valid perspective on this. #justsaying (as it's my Q 馃槈)

I'm now beginning to wonder and worry about all those who said "yes" (or even 'yuppers'?).
Paying it forward, is a phrase which describes the act of giving a kindness or support to someone not as a return gesture but to someone new, in the hope that they will do likewise. It helps the world go round 馃槉

@Valentine Some people do so without you knowing about it. Ever think of that? :)
ValentineM
@Phire1 oh, yes, of course 馃

@Valentine I know that, the more people do it the less the world sucks

Is that meaning when in a coffee shop you pay the next persons coffee and they pay their next person along
