Homeless man is given $100,000 by well-wishers after he returned ring

Actually, it's rather sad. People are so shocked that someone would do the right thing they feel compelled to help some homeless person they never met while there are likely dozens of homeless people in their local area they could have helped at any time. People want to help others, but only those they deem as good people, which the homeless guy in this news story clearly is. So people who want to help must assume every homeless person is less than good or surely they would have found a way to help them?

This story is about how far we've fallen when doing the right thing is seen as extraordinary.
 
He's just gonna piss it away on booze and smokes and whores and drugs and he'll end up worse off in the end so they probably shouldn't have given him cash but instead taught him to fish for cash because, like, if you give a man a fish he'll enjoy it with chips, but if you teach a man to fish he'll spend the better part of the day waiting for nothing to happen.


Nevermind. Tinfoil had to get all serious and negative so I retract my nonsense.

Maybe, it is not as if he is a spring chicken anyway so if he goes out in a blaze of glory is that such a bad thing?

Sorry, dung. I've been a little blue lately. I didn't mean to ruin the experience here.

No worries. How 'bout a little Bobby McFerrin to brighten your day:



Conversly, if you're embracing the doldrums (which I do from time to time because, hey, I don't need to be cheerful all the fucking time you needy shits). Revel in the saddness:
