Howdy pol, recently had a life changing event that made me realize I wasn’t who I thought I was. Not sure how it changes how I see the world, hope someone can sort it out.
>be me > working alone at a tiny restaurant > old couple comes in, orders a meal to share (old daughter and even older mother) > I prepare the food, goes as normal > I go back to wash some utensils, come back out a few minutes later to see the mom standing up in distress, and the daughter calls out to me “ can we get some help over here?” > the mom is choking > I briskly walk around the counter and immediately hiemlick the old granny, feet off the floor hard with every squeeze. > after three goes her throat is clear, the daughter is grateful, mother appears senile and can’t say much trauma or otherwise > I say “S-sorry” > shuffle back to kitchen, back to cleaning things > awkward af, hope they just leave > later on I’m up at counter making a take out order. > senile gran walks up, 20$ in hand “N-no I can’t take that. It was the right thing to do” > daughter comes round “She just wants to give you some token of appreciation. You’re a real lifesaver, for real” > convo to philosophical and too fast “N-no it’s ok. It’s all good. You guys have a nice day” > they leave and I say goodbye > tranny walks in, I recount the tail, flustered and stressed a bit > he/she laughs, tips me. Seemed surreal that the one tranny in my small town would show up right then.
I discovered two things about my unconscious mind from this. 1. I have the capacity to care about people I don’t know. 2. My subconscious thinks I shouldn’t have been rewarded monetarily for what I did.
You overcame the bystander affect and did the right thing. Turning down the money wasn't necessarily a moral choice but if you don't need it you don't need it. Whether you are a good person or not depends on how you conduct yourself from here on out. But you did good.
Logan Ward
Nobody is a good person but what you did was noble and you should be happy about it Try to be a noble person ( or as they say in Christianity, a saint) and you'll make the world more enjoyable for you and better for everybody
Jonathan Carter
Congrats, OP, you have a soul and are not an NPC.
Leo Carter
That’s called socialism faggot. Should have let that old bitch die for not having health insurance.
James Perry
Also the hiemlick is worth like 2 grand at least.
Ryan Gonzalez
In a life or death scenario people usually do anything they can do to stop the situation. What you did was instinctual. If someone dies right in front of you and you do nothing when you could have easily done something to stop it, it weights much more heavily on you than if you did something. It all stems from thousands of years of communal village life and association by proximity. You saved your own psychological well being.

Nothing wrong with stepping in to help others and being a genuinely good person. It's a reminder of what we would all be like if our countries were left alone.

Lamest shit I read this year. Congratulations you attention whoring faggot.

THIS OP
Post the menu and if i believe you (i'm a chef) i will give you life advice and not call you a glow nigger.
Leo Williams
pretending this happened, what the fuck did the tranny have to do with the whole story? it was just added in to make it all a better SJW tale? *shrugs*
Leo Martin
It’s a salad shop. They were having a beet salad the boss calls the “beet this”. He likes puns
Gavin Torres
Bruh idk what to tell you. My whole nights been odd.
you want me to believe you work at a (((salad restaurant))) and you performed the heimlick on an elderly woman (most likely with osteoperosis) and didn't seriously harm her. In fact she was fine afterwards and the group finished the meal.
suck a dogs dick you tranny discord glownigger
Eli Sullivan
Means you're a normal white Christian. Current (((powers that be))) are trying to undermine that normality with immigration, cultural Marxism etc. But that was just standard European behavior
Caleb Reed
Jesus who cares. Not everything is a life or death Mossad false flag. Calm down psycho

>Does this make me a good person? Do right by god or your concept of god. Treat others the way you wish to be treated, and strive to be a better person today than you were yesterday. Do you do this?
I try to do this every day. Some days are better than others. I try to be goal oriented like this because I can "wander" off quite quickly.
I don't know if this makes sense to you, but you did the right thing by saving the woman's life. Its good that you know a life saving technique. I don't know the Heimlich. I am CPR/AED as well as OSHA, but I wouldn't know what to do in the event of a clogged breathing passage.
Thanks fren. I guess I’m just coming down off that acceleration vibe
It’s nice to realize that I don’t want to actually hurt anyone. In fact, I think I want to find a career where I can help people like I did today
> make a big fist with both hands, thumbs folded upwards, find the bottom of the solar plexus or wherever the ribs begin to divert to form the cage I guess, and heave nigga heave. The harder the better
I can tell from your filename that you're a fucking tranny and that you're from discord. So what do you think my opinion of you is?
William Reed
you're a good goy. Props OP.
Xavier Long
I thought being america you could have put it on her bill.
>Meal $43.50 >Drinks $26.00 >Uninsured hiemlick $7000 >20% service charge
Thats when your tip is worth some real $
Sebastian Kelly
I remember a time ago, when you could have a thread here without being accused of being some secret agent or shill or some other gay shit You schitzo cunts are ruining this board I just fucking save all the shit I find funny, and reuse it to fucking phone post from the shitty little iPhone I can barely afford.
I’m just an average fucking retard, sorry I’m not a clandestine globohomo agent so you can play out the fantasy that you’re fighting some kind of war
Hey user if you're interested you could look into the health professions. I was probably gonna kill myself until I realized I could help people as a nurse in order to make shekels. A community college near you will have EMT, nursing assistant, nurse programs etc. (So you don't have to spend 4 years getting indoctrinated and racking up debt)
Cameron Powell
I'm pretty sure 99% of people refuse compensation for voluntary acts
Adrian Cooper
you're a sick fuck OP absolutely 100% sick please see a doctor empathy for other human beings isn't normal, especially for white pigskin boys. go to psychiatrist say "i am depressed" they will put you on some good shit you'll feel some type of WAY
ALSO FUCK SCHIZOS FUCK NIGGERS
Christian Wright
I'm sorry, OP, it's kind of sort of my fault. You see I actually got really good at pinpointing shills, but I do so by looking at all the details, such as how the "user' is replying to me, and most importantly, if the "user" is insisting on me adhering to their points while disregarding my own. I got it down to a science with very few mistakes and if I do make a mistake, I apologize for it. But these anons trying to mimic me don't do that and just treat it as if anyone being critical of them is a shill or glownigger or kike. They watched, but they did not learn. It's unfortunate.
Jose Thomas
>1. I have the capacity to care about people I don’t know. >2. My subconscious thinks I shouldn’t have been rewarded monetarily for what I did. >Does this make me a good person?
Good or bad don't get boiled down to simple shit like this. It might mean you're "nice" or have a "soul" but you could still be "good" or "bad" elsewhere.
What really matters is if you believe in a cause, being "nice" but knowing nothing makes you useless
Brandon Hernandez
intelligent post here
Christopher Hill
It's true though, he should have done back blows.
Jason Green
It means you are humble at least.
Mason Smith
You said this changed your perception. Does that mean you previously thought you were a detestable person?
Grayson Fisher
I forgive you. You are fren now. World is better when you have frens
Most people would do nothing or panic. Your good man, who cares about others including those he doesn’t even know. And you had the courage and soundness or mind to act instead or panicking and expecting someone else to do it. Be proud user.
I guess I previously thought you had to be cold and logical to have a respectable life. Now I feel all these feelings and I realize that being good to people feels much better than the fun of being bad to people. Sort of like the difference between love and sex. Being good lasts a while and means something. Being bad is funny at first but makes you feel gross after awhile.
I actually have a story like this too >be walking back from home >see a tiny little bee drowning in a small puddle of water after some raining >try to ignore it but eventually talk myself into saving the bee >beat myself over for having to talk myself into helping the bee instead of directly saving the bee without hesitation basically my unconscious mind: -wanted to save the bee -got mad when saving the bee wasn't my first impulse upon awareness of the bee
thoughts?
Jordan Robinson
Be good but be good for a reason. Dont just let people walk on you or use you because you feel good either. Advance the good will of your people. I believe in you.
Luke Watson
I’m glad we are exploring the unconscious morality of the mind together user. I would say the only solution is to remember the bee as an example for the future, that you should always help those who need it, if you are able.
Your reward for such a deed awaits you in heaven
Colton Walker
What is your goodness in service to? Btw I used to think like you do and I still do to an extent. But here's the thing, emotions are important as a form of communicating among your immediate community. This is why what you did is good and virtue signalling is retarded. Following up on my first question I use my morality and the emotions of my interpersonal relationships to inform the emotional responses. I also separate concepts and situations into three categories. The Logos (logoc), Ethos (morality), and Pathos (emotions).
James Williams
Night frens, I have class tommorrow morning. I’ll check on the thread tommorrow if it’s still up, but I think I’ll post in the future about the benefits of being nice to people are.
It's just a bee dude. Nature can regulate itself, and you'll go insane trying to do that job. At leas it wasnt a wasp nigger.
Xavier Powell
You’re on the path, buddy. Good job.
Jayden Reed
Maybe we can have a regular good deeds thread.
Liam Young
Goodness is for goodness’ sake brother. If I am proven wrong in a tragic or a benign way, I’ll make a post about it.
Robert Martin
yeah after that incident I never hesitate to do what I think is correct since it's inevitable and I know I'll just feel like crap for not doing it. Like this other time I saw a piece of floating garbage on the sea and everyone walking by just ignored it, my impulse was to take it out but I decided to ignore it, that was way before the bee (and it's actually been almost a decade) yet it still comes up in my mind.
Nicholas Kelly
I would like that. Would really balance out the Schitzos and habbening threads.
>screen cap this so they don’t accuse it of being a psyop lol
Isn’t it weird how little things like that continue to bother us? I’ll see all of ya’ll I a new thread I’ve been inspired to make tommorrow
David Campbell
If they were white you did the right thing not taking the money, they would have called the manager as soon as you turned around and complained about it and probably call the press saying how you charge for such a thing and how the world is lost, but any other race it just means they don't know how else to thank you and you could take it if you wish.
Julian Powell
The Tranny showing up means you will never be psychologically whole until your sex reassignment surgery is completed. Good luck, user.
Nathan Peterson
Humblebrag the post ...
Nicholas Clark
Granny getting "beat" to death. I'd pay to see that
Adam Morales
yeah it definitely is, I guess it's because we know that we aren't living up to a set of standards or code of honor that we unconsciously possess for ourselves.

Christopher Lewis
The bystander effect doesn't apply when you're the only other person there. Bystander effect is when you're in a crowd and you assume someone else is taking care of it/assume someone else ought to take care of it/think if no one is taking care of it, maybe you're not supposed to.

Literal virtue signalling post. Leftist infiltration. Also not political.

>Helping someone in need with no expectation of reward Only you can answer if that's a "good person"
Lincoln Wood
I saved a nigger having diabetic shock but I'd still gladly eradicate anyone below 100 IQ with my bare hands.
But yeah, it means you have some good inside of you. Latch onto it and become the best person you can be. It might add you to my exception list if you don't score high enough on the test.
the only salad got tossed in this story? is the epilogue he left out? when he tossed the tranny's salad after his shift ended. a service for which he was paid 20 bucks.
i carried some old lady's groceries out to her car last week? i honestly didnt feel a need to write a short essay on the event, replete with a "drop in tranny" in the story which meant nothing to the narrative. fucking gay ass shit.
Bentley Thomas
>Mexican Yes. I don't care if you're >56% European. Hard cutoff.
There's no real way or need to judge if you're a good person or not. You did something helpful and positive today, and you should build off of that and find more things to do that give you a sense of being good. Feeling good is being good.
Ryder Sanders
It’s cool fren. I’ll put together gud boi general tommorrow and the schizos and nazi larpers will have some other thread to be on
Don't take it too hard, user, that fuckhead is just one of the loonies who think everyone with an iphone is a discord tranny or some such. Or is acting like they do or whatever LOL it all gets too confusing past a certain point. But it's as if they don't realize that iphones are basically boomer-tier, dumb brown folk, and chronic Apple geeks. All the trannies and libshits I know have Samsung Galaxies or similar.
Luke Turner
It's part of how you developed as a human being. You want to help others because your unconscious is smart enough to know you need yoir species to survive. I have been a lifeguard for some years. My life was saved when I was a kid and felt I needed to repay. I earned 40$ a day but still did it, and hoping saving a life would change me for the better. It doesn't. I was unprepared for how ungrateful people are and how they can despise and even attack you for doing them good, so I think the 20$ was a nice touch. Keep helping people. It's a noble thing. Just don't believe it's a life changer/saver. You have to save/change yourself internally ant that's it. Count on noone or no external action to do it permanently.
Owen Jenkins
>Treat others the way you wish to be treated horseshit most people are selfish assholes
Liam Cruz
The other two responses to this lovely post are really interesting and thoughtful. For myself, I never found it fun to be bad to people. I'm too empathetic, I guess. But the respondent who said, don't let people walk all over you was right; that's an important caution. I've always been a kind person and through hard experience have learned not to toss pearls in front of swine, as they say--don't bother being kind to those who will never appreciate or return the gift.
(Though of course, being bad to truly terrible people doesn't really bother me, desu.)
Thank you for saving the bee. Alleviating suffering in innocent beings is never a bad thing to do imo. Maybe you are just someone who tends to see the extended consequences of things, such as: --you try to save the bee, it croaks anyway, you feel worse --you try to save the bee, it turns out to be a wasp and stings you, you feel really bad
etc. etc. Maybe try not to overthink simple acts of kindness?
stop overthinking things you enlightened edgelord.
Jack Wright
In real life people who get heimlich'd have to go to hospital immediately to ensure they're not bleeding internally or have a burst spleen. Your story is fake and gay.

And what of the bad things? Nobody is good, just as nobody is truly evil.
