I was reading a book about the ways our ancestor kept their living and realized how things got this far. Life before was very simple.They have their simple tools and simple system. I can say that even if they don't have much they can still manage to secure what they need because not everything is for sale. Looking forward at our present time, its seems almost everything turn into business. Now, we cant drink without a coin since we have this automated water dispenser.I have also this experience when i went home, i have this co passenger who was in her 60's, travel alone with her huge luggage. When we arrived at the terminal, a porter directly took her luggage and asked for the payment and what he has done was only taking the luggage out from the bus door step. It seems that everything has a prize. I just hope that people would sometime take a step backward and kept the principle of a good samaritan.

I do not think, though it would be for society doskonale.Ludzie not taking a step backward because we live in an age of being a good Samaritan is not at the present time oplacalne.Nie I mean money, but about the very existence among the people, immediately they would take such a someone in the language that kind of crazy that I'm a creep, and stepped out of a madman, not a good czlowieka.Jednak there are such people, other generations, but unfortunately there are more and less!

yeah, when we look to the past and see how we are going, and the most of the time, it is for worse, we are improving a lot, but we are loosing the love for others, we think first in money, than in the others things.
we really have to have this principle of good Samaritan with us.
thanks for the discussion!

Alas that is the way of the world. Man is selfish and will always want more for personal gain. By our very nature we think of hoarding and acquiring as much as possible even if it is too much. Very few people are satisfied with what others would consider as "minimal". If our good samaritan is to turn up today, he would be frowned upon and perhaps even sued for violating social norms!
But unexpected outcomes do sometimes happen. I'll tell you a story. My aunt the other day went with a friend to eat ice cream at a shop. They each bought one ice cream cone and left. By the time she arrived home, she realized that the shop clerk only requested payment for one cone not two. So the next day she actually RETURNED to pay him for the second one. She told me that he was so shocked at what she wanted to do that he refused to take her money, saying that it has never happened to him and because of her integrity he doesn't want the money. Now I ask you, how many times does that happen? wouldn't most people take the money, thank her and move on to the next customer? and wouldn't they still be doing want is right since it is their money after all?
