Paying it Forward is Backwards
I have to admit the first time I heard that usual pay it forward story about someone paying for someone else's cofee and/or food, I thought it was a nice thing. I mean, it's all nice to buy someone a coffee and for them to buy someone else a coffee, but what kind of good deed is that? Wouldn't it be much better for society or even for your own Karma to help an old lady with her groceries, tutor some kids, mentor someone, shovel your neighbours driveway, etc? I mean, a free coffee is all good, but if you have to turn around and buy someone else a coffee (paying it forward), it's not really a free coffee and not really any extra benefit to anyone other than the company selling the coffee/food. IMO it really just seems like a lazy way to feel like your doing a good deed when in reality you are not helping anyone but yourself to feel good and the company selling the coffee/food. —You are not Haley Joel Osment
