@Devils_Rancher@beige.party I had a colleague once who told me the story of the "Perpetual fiver" - a fiver, in this context, being a hypothetical British five pound note.
The perpetual part is that for most people, they all owe somebody a fiver for having had something nice done for them.
I help you move house. You help a neighbour find their missing cat. That neighbour drives someone to hospital to see a dying relative. In turn, they look in on an old friend, etc etc etc.

@Devils_Rancher@beige.party If ever there's a point where nobody owes anybody the fiver, society collapses. I try to live by that. Pay it forward, the perpetual fiver, "be nice to people" - it all pays off in the end. Good on your for trying to change. You'll benefit in no small way by feeling good about the things you do. 2/2
