Many a time when I was in dire straits the people who helped me I did not know beforehand and I never heard from them again. Did not even ask their name in some cases.
I was saved from drowning twice. Once in a pool when I was 6 and once in the ocean when I was 17.
An old man and his wife jumped my vehicle when it died and I was with my wife and our baby.
Once I was travelling long distance and my vehicle broke down, I had my family with me. I was towed 40 kilometers by a guy and his brother in law given place to stay for almost a week while they had my vehicle repaired.
I know their names and am still in contact with them.
A guy I did not know paid my vets bills for my dog's broken leg after he ran under my car.
I could mention a lot of other events.
I made a lot of mistakes in my teenage years and cost people a lot in emotional and economic damage.
The point is that I have helped other people in need when I was in a position to assist them and they owe me nothing because I am indebted to others who required nothing from me in return.
Many of us are just good Samaritans who also get beat up every once in a while. It keeps you humble.
