Y'know, I never heard a saint talking about all the good they've done.

Well, folks always read my big walls of shit, so the least I can do is read yours. It's a good thing. We often forget how much of a difference some of the little things can make.Sometimes, you don't have to move a mountain for somebody. All you have to do is make them smile. One little bright spot on a bad day. I know the feeling well. Tossing in some spare bucks in my pocket for folks who are short. Help when I see that they need a hand. A comment, that let's them know that I know, and that they aren't alone.Our impacts, don't have to be massive to be world changing and life changing. Because of all the memories I remember, it's the small ones. The smiles from strangers I received on bad days. The comments, and the eyes of people you look at, and you know, that they can see that you need something, you need help. A leg up. One singular moment to spark one last light for you, something to hang onto no matter how lost you seem.Remember that. You don't have to be god to change somebody's life around. You don't have to have millions at your disposal. Just the simple will to help, even if it's as something as small as a handshake, for somebody who feels like they have nothing left.
Kid's always gonna remember that. Good on you, man.

The reason you've never heard them speak about it, is because they're a myth. A saint is not some holier than thou person. We are all flawed. But that doesn't change the fact people have the capability in them to do something special for others, even if it's small.

I honestly expected to say hi, hopefully get him to smile while we were talking (which I did) and say bye and go home.It was just perfect. And I wanted to make his dream come true. Plus, I live very close by so it was a 5 minutes drive to and from

Fuck you, you piece of shit. You should've gifted the kid your car. You're rich enough to afford another. WHY AREN'T YOU PAYING 80pc INCOME TAX?

It's always nice to do something for other people. But just like people don't like hearing about all the bad things in someone's life, doesn't mean people want to hear about all the good either. You did something good? Hey great! It feels nice to do something for others out of kindness, but don't go around looking for recognition and acceptance of what you did. That's petty. Just know that what you did made someone happy and that should be good enough.

And, sometimes, you have to tell someone. You have to tell them how good you feel. It's infectious almost. It's a moment, something special in your mind, and you feel like sharing that feeling with everybody.There are days when you do something good. And you go on with your day. You ask for no recognition. And there are others, where you do something good, and it not only affects the person you helped, but it affects you as well. You feel it in your soul, and you just want to laugh, and cry.That feeling? That's what he's got right now. It's excitement. Pure happiness. And a simple desire to spread it.

And a simple desire to spread it.I understand what you're saying. Which would be fine... if it were the first time. But it's not. It's always something about his life with the random topic here and there to make it look not so conceited. And honestly, I don't think it's necessarily intentional. But it's like that person that always whines and complains. My life is this, my life is that. If we wanted to know about your life, then we'd ask. Sure, something might happen like losing a family member or a pet or something, but that doesn't happen all the time either.
why did you fake to be nice?be honest with the boy, it's the least you can do
