What would you do?

 

Just as there will always be a few unpoppepd kernels in your bowl, there will be banditos along the trail.  Life tends to sprinkle an assortment across the landscape.   Good and bad, this and that, here and there, now and then.   Life is  like everyone’s parent, trying to keep things fair for everyone, although not always getting it right.

What we come across in our travels depends heavily on the path we choose.  Although, into the mix is chance and luck, which can be either good or bad. 

Assume for the moment, you always travel on the side of right and good, but then one day you pass a homeless man.  You feel bad, so you give him some money for food.

The homeless man is on the sidewalk, leaning against the local movie theatre, where the strong scent of hot buttered popcorn always torments him.  He takes his new found wealth into the theater and buys a large popcorn. 

He excitedly leaves the theatre munching the popcorn and in the process gets his fingers all greasy, but he doesn’t care.  He’s feeling pretty good, walking down the street with a little bounce in his step, still munching as he goes.  Suddenly an unpopped kernel cracks one of his teeth.  Great pain shoots through him and he grimaces in agony, crumpling again into a heap on the sidewalk.

Seeing this happen, do you go back to the homeless man and offer him a napkin to wipe his fingers?

Side note:

When I write silly things like this I feed it to AI just to see what it will say.  This time it didn't see my off-the-wall humor at all, but went into great explanation on how a napkin would not solve the tooth problem.  Maybe I've been giving AI too much credit for catching on to my gibberish.
