Kindness is free. However no good deed will not go unpunished.


It’s a interesting world we live in.


I have always been taught I should give kindness freely, and regardless of this I also happen to believe it to be true. Also that I should not brag about it or discuss it with others.


My Mother taught me that common courtesy is free; experience has taught me that common courtesy is a sure sign of refinement.


..but also as a trained First Aider I am reticent to put my self in the firing line helping strangers who may (or their families) take me to court afterwards.


In many countries there is a law protecting First Responders from this. Here and in the UAE that law does not exist, in fact if the person dies and you where the last person to touch them you had better have a good lawyer.


And also you had better hope that should you have a heart attack in the street that a medical professional with insurance and lawyers behind him is within shouting distance.
