Someone stopped me from being a samaritan today, It told me to behave how some of them behave, in a selfish way.

In order to reach the conclusion, my mind shifted from one thought to another to and fro, while It reminded me of all the stingy people and urged me to act quid pro quo.

A faint voice in my head asked me a simple question, "How would you feel if someone else acted selflessly towards you in such a situation?".
┈┈┈┈․° ༻❉༺°․┈┈┈┈
I thought about the sudden inner interrogation. My answer was 'I would feel really good', if I was in such a situation.

Finally, I decided to be a samaritan and felt a godlike ataraxia. Doing a good deed is always better then some selfish and futile inertia.

I pondered over and over about the identity of It who asked me to perform the act that would add to my guilt shelf,.. I suspired sadly when I realized It was my own selfish self.
