I guilted myself into a good deed this evening.
Our hosts and Mrs Me are out at a charity thing tonight, so I am in a unfamiliar city and someone else's house and needed dinner, so I went out for pizza. Since arriving I have been noticing lots of homeless lying around the streets, begging for money. This fellow was sitting asking for money and I gave him my standard lie "I'm sorry I can't " as I passed him by. When I went into the shop I felt so awful I thought about giving him half my pizza but then I thought, I'm too hungry for that and I realised he was probably hungrier than I am. So I ordered one for him and one for me. His face lit up when I gave it and five dollars to him and said " you're a champion mate!" And I thought to myself "Nah, just luckier than you and guilty of ignoring too many requests like yours.
