So you are walking down a path that is regularly used for jogging and such, and you spot a rusty nail on the path. If you pick the nail up, have you done good by taking away the chance of someone stepping on it and getting hurt even if you never know if that would have ever happened. If you don't pick up the nail and someone does step on it and gets hurt are you evil for having allowed this to happen by not picking up said nail.
If you picked it up and the next person along doesn't get hurt. you will never know about it so a good dead done without reward is the result.
this made more sense in the shower when I thought of it
