Ripple effects of good deeds

When I do a good deed, I feel great.I didn't realize that watching another person do a good deed could make me feel just as good—maybe better.

This week, during a hasty trip to a shopping mall, I walked past a man carrying a woman's purse. The man, dressed in full military uniform, sought out the mall security guards. He handed the purse to them and said, "Something to keep you busy." The man had found the purse left behind in the food court and decided to do the right thing.
