Your doing it right

It is helpful to ease the suffering of others without doing any harm to them.

Fitz, this made me laugh thinking of all the ways you could be a codie with your volunteer work. Like insisting everyone you come across eat your food. Reminding them how hard you worked to get this food and deliver it to them. How you are standing out in the cold to help them and this is the way they treat you? By not eating!!!

Wow - just had some serious flashbacks to my marriage and my own codie behavior... ; )

You are acting with kindness and good intentions. Keep it up - it is inspiring to read about here.

Ernest Kurtz said it best, it's about fully human interaction

I had a nice chat with the two tellers at my bank today.....

Sometimes the best thing we can do is step outside or ourselves and help somebody else! Sounds like you have a good walk!
