if someone gave you a thousand dollars to better the life of a complete stranger, what would you do? they have to be someone you have never met and never will see again, the only catch is that stranger would have to do the same.

There are plenty of people who need help but the hard part is finding someone who would actually pay it forward. I hate the fact that so many people are just sitting around waiting for a handout and not doing anything to help anyone else. Who to help would be a really hard decision to make!

so very true...there definatly is a lack of "paying it forward" in this world. one should not expect anything nor wait for handouts but be willing to give for the sake of giving. it shouldn't matter if it what the circumstances are, and it could be as simple as holding a door, smiling or buying a homeless person a meal. it feels good to give, to help and if more people were willing to do one simple thing for a stranger, how much better would we feel about ourselves. excellent response thank you +++

yes it was so sad, i just wanted to post in a comment also that this may be a repeat question, my husband starting this today and while i like it i think i saw something similar on here a couple of days ago so i apologize if it is a repeat, it wasnt intentional. (had to post it in a comment becaue we cant add to a discussion)
