That's a really kind act! Just the sort of thing Jesus preached, as I recall. I wonder how many "Christians" got on that bus?

45 minutes is a small price to pay for the opportunity to increase the amount of good karma in the world. It's kind of like that movie "Pay It Forward", or the TV commercial where one kind act begets another. You know, even a kind, heartfelt smile to a stranger has the potential to drastically change the world...you just don't know how such a seed, when planted with love, will grow and bear fruit.

You are exactly right, you discovered why you were put here...and the rest of us, too!

Peace,
