Just a thought
I have this memory of buying someone food and i don't keep this memory because im proud of myself. I don't even it rememeber it making me feel good. I did it because it was as natural to me as drinking water when im thirsty, but i rememeber it because of the reaction i got from other military members i worked with and their reactions.
I was outside a sandwhich shop on lunch getting something to eat, and a young man asked me before i opened the door, if i could get him some food and that he was hungry. I said yeah man, come get what you want and that was that. We didnt really talk and he didnt get much. I recognized some faces there, but they didnt say anything to me until i got back to my unit and started work again.
The sandwich place comped my food which was nice of them too but these guys were smiling and laughing and said hey did that guy con you into you getting him some food? I was like the dude was hungry ill get someone some food if they want food. I won't give someone money but if they want food yeah ill get them some food, and i dont know what it was about my reply but their faces changed from happy and laughing to like just being changed like they had a revalation of some sort, and thats really what i rememeber most of all about that day was the change in their face.
