The DailyPaul pays it forward, starts a r3volution...
Oruval has planted a seed we can all cultivate to "overcome the power lusting greed filled people that control this planet"...
We, all of us, have got to "pay" something forward...start with our families, our friends...then, take that great big step to do a random act of kindness for a complete stranger, expecting nothing in return...
It is better to give than to receive and this day, December 1st, is the perfect day to start!
Let's come back here tomorrow night and NOT tell what we did, rather, tell what the reaction was of the people we "helped"...friends, family, stranger...did they smile, say thank you, cry?...will they "pay" it forward?
Do something on your block, in your town, for your family member, friend, stranger, or maybe even that hard working single parent that never asks for anything...DO SOMETHING today! then, come back here tomorrow and tell what the reaction was (we don't care what you did because its all good...what was the reaction)
...will you commit?
Hello Friends
Hey. Check out my vlog at www.darkdownhere.com It's got hundreds of hours of original and unique content that you are unlikely to find elsewhere. Thanks
Bumpity
Bumpity. I have been doing this for years, as my best friend, Syd once said, "just to see the look on their faces." It is priceless. Because no matter what crap is descending upon you, there is always someone worse off to uplift.
Not to be a complete bummer on this but as I read your post it's
ironic that very recently a friend of mine stopped to help an older woman held-up on the side of the road, when she (my friend) was hit by a car. She may lose her leg, we're not sure yet. She is so young, beautiful and blond as can be with the biggest, kindest blue eyes. All this because she is a good person and was trying to "pay it forward." F*ing ironic.
Sorry, just wanted to share. Hope it helps stop the pain...

The Gift of Liberty
I figure giving liberty and enhanced awareness is about the best gift I could give. I'm sending 24 dvds of our r3volution to a neighboring town which happens to be the most corrupt town I know excepting DC of course. We've already passed out nearly 1,000 in this town so it's time to wake 'em up!
PS: I thank whoever it was who posted this video link in another DP forum this morning. It shows the Love and has reminded me of why we are here:

last night a guy asked me for spare change
I bought him a veggie pizza slice and told him about Ron Paul Ralph Nader and explained that Obama is a traitor...well I was after a bottle of strong Sherry 20% and told him Christmas should be celebrated every day.
His reaction?
He was visibly uplifted shook my hand a few times.
My reward?
improved mood.

Good idea
See you tomorrow.
haha..
Ran into a guy who absolutely hates me today at the local gas station. I said hey man I know we don't get along but here let me buy your gas.
His reaction was priceless.. He thought I was joking or being an ass at first and didn't know how to take it...I had to convince him and I said man just do something good for someone else today and make the world a bit better.
Still don't like that SOB... lol. But that's not the point.

I really like your example Oruval.
We all know positive action doesn't always get reciprocated, but it does help us grow, especially when it's a challenge to give to someone you don't like. At least you can feel better about yourself for it; the other guy may stay stuck in his small negative box, or maybe your action will plant a seed that will crack that box open later.
Thanks for starting this thread and inspiring some good thinking.
Wow
That is a good one. That takes stuffing your pride and stuffing your own feelings and actually confronting someone you don't like. That is a big one. I hate confronting people I don't like. My mo is to keep distance between me and them. Fortunately they are not numerous.
Excellent book on this subject....
"Invisible Acts of Power" by Caroline Myss. This book really affected me. She explains that when you do something for someone else it creates an energy flow between BOTH people and enhances both lives. This book can be read within or without a "faith" based setting. She brings in the philosophies of ALL of the major religions and shows how they all say similar things regarding "energy flow" or "grace". Excellent reading.

I actually just did that this weekend...
I was in FL for work and went downtown Orlando the one night that I was there. I ran into a bum who was asking for money, I ended up giving him all the cash in my pocket, but not before ripping up one of the dollar bills and explaining to the man that its worthless and that liberty, relationships with random people, and your family is where the real wealth is, NOT in a piece of paper. We offered for the guy to hang out with us and just hang, but he decided to take the money and run. You guys can take this how ever you want I just thought I would share that with you. The truth will free us!

Absolutely!
Happily for me, I live in a community that is probably 40 years behind the times. Many people still go out of their way to help those who need a helping hand. If you make eye contact with a stranger, you greet him cordially.
Unfortunately, modern problems ... drugs, promiscuity, the effects of pornography, broken homes ... have slithered into our area too. They have not yet paralyzed everyone into isolation.
People helping people has a totally different effect than governments robbing one set of people to bestow favors on another.

I kicked an Obama supporter
I kicked an Obama supporter in the balls today...HARD. He went down rather quickly too, I think I might've injured something because it was a really good kick, he didn't even expect it.
He was like...wha..wha...
Priceless...thanks for the idea. I hope that helped the cause.

Do you think
in order to have maximum impact and make people think, when we do a deed, maybe we should say that we are doing this in the name of Ron Paul or Campaign for Liberty or to challenge our governments attempt to turn us into a communist country or something to send the message. Instead of letting it just look like we are great people and letting it drop there. If people are talking about what happened to them, then they could add to the story that it happened because of Ron Paul. Or in the spirit of DailyPaul.com so that they can come here and read about themselves. Then hopefully they will stay and see what it is all about.
you know, i've thought of this...
i really think it might be ok to do that...its a bit touchy though...each case might be different...i say we should mention the r3volution, in some way, probably the best and easiest way would be to say, go ronpaul, and ask that they might pay it forward...

Every day:
I have lived every day of my life that way. I have always helped others with no thought of "what's in it for me". I have stopped along the road to help people and many times they want to pay me or see what they can do for me. I always simply tell them to pass it on and do something to help someone else. I live in a small town and there are many older folks here that can't afford the $80.00 per hr. at the local garage and I work on their vehicles for practically nothing most times. That is just one example of how I have helped my community. There are many others. But when it came time that I needed help with things, somehow, amazingly, it has come back to me ten fold. I am a firm believer in karma and you reap what you sow. Now I realize that everyone isn't the same and things like this don't present themselves to everyone's every day life. But the barter system and being kind to others has certainly made my life so much more peaceful than I see in some others. Random acts of kindness to strangers has huge rewards. Even if one of them is just looking in the mirror and liking the person that you see.

Reciprocity
I happened upon this article from another article on lewrockwell.com and am an avid Ron Paul and Austrian economics supporter. I wanted to point out a website run by a person I know who has created a system of coins that can be handed out after doing a good deed so the stories can be tracked. It is quite a neat project and I think fits the ideals in this article perfectly. Check it out: http://www.reciprocity.cc/
Nice
