We should give a reward to anyone in any way, for example, to the homeless people. I do that all the time. When I see someone, sometimes I turn the car or make a U-turn on the highway, just to give them something. Sometimes my driver complains, "That's difficult! It's inconvenient." I say, "Yes, for us it's very inconvenient, but for that man it's even worse. Can you imagine how much more inconvenience he has to endure every day? Compared to our inconvenience, his is very great. So, just turn." On the highway sometimes it's difficult, of course. But considering his inconvenience, ours is very small. We can always make two more minutes for a person like that. We can always go through a little inconvenience just to help someone out. And it feels good when you do that. It feels good when you defeat your own laziness or excuses; knowing what you want to do, you do it. It feels good.
