I walked into the grocery store about a month ago and there was this little old lady, must have been eighty, all bent over and trying to free a cart from the others in the line. Not thinking much about it, I took one from another stack, wheeled it over to her, and said, "here you go." I don't even know why I looked at her, but the look in her eyes was priceless. I felt like superman for the rest of the day.
The point is, Clavus, that life will give you plenty of unexpected opportunities to provide a little boost to somebody. Don't let anyone tell you what is appropriate or not, etc. What's appropriate is that you always have good intentions and are aware of those around you - at the end of the day thats what matters.
