OK... so i was driving to work this morning, and while i was running a bit late, i see this guy on the side of the road with a big ass jalopy of a truck pulling a u-haul trailer, and the guy is holding out a pair of jumper cables, obviously to say he needs a jump... and here i am driving with about 500 other cars... all of which are passing him like he is invisible and possibly like he has the plague! So... being that I am into what i believe is Kharma... not as the religious aspect... but the principle of it. So i stop my car, turn it around pull up the front of the car, so that he can jump his jalopy!
So this guy... comes up to my window, with a gracious look on his face and proceeds to thank me... when i realized that it was "Sunny" a really sweet old friend of mine from when i bartended! what are the chances? Sunny proceeds to thank me, then yell at me for stopping in the middle of nowhere to help a guy and his 2 friends jump their car, when i didn't know them, (or atleast thought i didn't), and how that wasn't safe!
So, it got me thinking? I stopped yes, and maybe it wasn't smart, but i did it anyway, because I would want someone to do it for me! And besides... i wouldn't have had to stop is one of the other 500 assholes on the road, half of which were guys... and half of whom were probably twice my size and capable of taking the 5-7 minutes out of their day to help another person! Why? Why are we as citizens so quick to judge others? Granted... that is probably what i am doing right now... but i digress... Why can't we just be humane? I mean, seriously, thats part of being human right... and I guaranteed you... the people who don't stop... or refuse to stop are the ones bitching and crying when they are stuck in a shitty situation and complaining that people suck and that they are inhumane... when they themselves probably deserved it! its called Kharma... deal with it! and if you don't believe in Kharma... then... What goes around comes around... the golden rule... and eye for an eye... etc...
Thats my rant!

In my single years lol I was driving home one night & saw a car broken down on the side of the road & when I turned the corner this girl was walking alone so I asked her if she needed help & gave her a ride home didn't occur to me that there could've been someone hiding in the bushes ready to attack! She needed help...if it had been a man I wouldn't have stopped. I'm not that crazy!
