Some Good That'll Do....

I was thinking recently (as if it doesnt happen often). I bought some roses from this young dude up at 34th and Girard by the zoo. Not that its some intensely good deed but it put a smile on his face (and bought me a compliment on my nosering) and i was already feeling really good but it elevated my mood. So i was thinking about that saying "the good you do will come back to you" (paraphrasing). I dont think thats quite right. First off, i dont think that anyone should do something nice for someone and sit back waiting for something good to happen to them. Secondly, i think the good you do does good for you immediately. Those little nice things are good for your soul. No matter how you are feeling, if you do something nice for someone else, you'll get that warm fuzzy feeling. Try it sometime when you're feeling down. The good you do for others is good for you too, immediately. No lag time, no karma involved, no waiting.
