I do things all the time that i dont ask for thanks or praise over but if its given i accept it graciously.

If i see someone on the side of the road i will stop and help them if i can. I try and do good things in the hope that what ive done will outlive me by at some point having the favor given again to someone else.

On my way to work i saw this car pulled over with its hood up and two black girls standing by it while cars all rushed by on the way to work and nobody was stopping.

I stopped a few blocks down and walk back to see if they needed any help and they were all super happy to see me and said oh thank god yes we need help.

So i push the car down the street and around the corner to get them out of harms way while the black guy with them stands by and watches not really doing anything to help.

Them being black really has nothing to do with anything but its part of the story so whatever. Im white and that doesnt matter either buy anyway.

I get the car around the corner and im outta breathe and i say good luck taking care of the car and i hope everything works out for them and i need to get going to work so have a good day and i hope it gets better.

The black guy who apparently didnt wanna get dirty or something cause he didnt help at all just says

"aight"

and walks away.

I wasnt looking for thanks and i didnt do it to be thanked , i did it because im trying to believe that people dont suck and are worth my time even though time and time again they have shown they arent and do suck.

I must believe that people are inherently good and that its worth helping others out if they need it. I spent too much time being angry and jaded and it doesnt do anything for anyone and just leaves you feeling empty.

So i get in my car and drive to work feeling like no matter how he responded i still did something good and that i feel better knowing that maybe now one of those people at some point will think to help someone else who needs a hand.

I wish i had superpowers sometimes so i could do more to help people cause there are so many people that need a hand that never get it.

I would be remiss to not have stopped and thought oh somebody else will help them i dont need to....  

i use to be sponsored by blackflys when i skated a million years ago. i say this cause i keep seeing that goddamn banner blinking at the bottom of the page.
