Generosity

You're walking along a deserted footpath, with no spare change/anything of value on you. Suddenly, you spot a $100 bill on the floor. Assuming you pick it up, you proceed on your way.

When you turn the corner, you see a blind beggar, pleading for money with an old ice-cream container infront of him. What do you do?

I'm just curious about what a community of (ex)VCE students might do

(This question popped into my mind when I gave some money to a busker, i.e. not a beggar.)

Give him the $100 bill. I feel sorry for the poor dude [I would take him to the optometrist to get his eyes checked lol as well]

[Ken]

Get him a guide dog.

Get him a guide dog.

with a $100??? 

[brendan]

if u don't take his money, someone else will.

[Collin Li]

if u don't take his money, someone else will.

Hahahaha!

Funny, but good point.

I picked the middle one - proceed on my way.

[danieltennis]

i will give him half the money.

I think this might actually be an interesting experiment to survey two groups:

One group was given the situation above

And another group was given the question "you have a $100 bill in your pocket, would do you do?"

That's an interesting way to see it.

Surprising results so far - My initial thoughts were that the VN community is going to be all nice and stuff; I guess this proves me wrong

I did this in the city once, except it was only like 2 or 3 dollars. I gave the guy the money, and my friends were giving me shit for it. He was a begger and I didnt know what to do, so I gave him the money. Remember Cloud??

Yeah. If you hadnt given the money, i would cause he looked kinda threatening. Plus i felt sorry for the guy.

Good Karma always returns back to you.

proceed

if it was <$5 then id give it to him

i bet my conscience would make me feel like crap later

[cobby]

how's he going to know that its a $100 note in any case?
Id just proceed on my way

[xox.happy1.xox]

Proceed on my way! For all I know, he may have dropped his ice-cream container down a river or something? (And I'm in overdraft, so I would always think of my financial situation since I'm still young and have a life to live, rather than someone else's who has probably already lived his life, and hence became a beggar.)
