Was walking past a dollar tree. There's this rugged old blanket in the cart return little shelter. It was moving.
I walked up to the blanket and said "hey man" a guy about my age that had seen better times popped his head out, said "hey man."
He just looked at me and said hi. Didn't ask for anything.
I gave him all the physical cash i had on me and walked away.
Now, I'm about a quarter mile away, and I've stopped.
Was that enough?
Edit: wasn't a huge amount, like 64 bucks. But i feel compelled to go back and talk with the man. I think I'm going to turn around.
Edit 2: I'm not sharing this to virtue signal. I'm legitimately seeking advice for how to be of actual help to the guy in real time.
Edit 3: i ended up walking home. I don't know if i could've helped him more. I'm a little ashamed that i didn't try.
