Finding The Good in Everything

As I was leaving math lecture the other day, I saw someone had left their calculator on the floor. I looked at it, felt kind of guilty for not picking it up and giving it to the prof. but she was faaaaar away, down a lot of stairs and there were a lot of people behind me. So then I just left and headed to my next class.

The next math lecture we had, some kid came around looking for his calculator. He asked some girl he was sitting next to if she had seen it, she said no, but go ask the professor. So he went down to her, and a few minutes later came back up with his calculator. "Someone turned it in to her." He said.

I was thinking, "well that's good, now I don't feel so bad... Actually... I feel great! I let someone else do a good deed, and they probably feel great. So I did a good deed by letting someone else do the original good deed!"

And that my friends, is the way to find the good in everything, and to talk yourself out of guilt.
