  What we *do* defines us; not what what they say about us...

  There are still many descent people out there... Thank GOD for that!

  Thank you for sharing.

  I'd rather ask for forgiveness instead of permission

  That was a very nice gesture on both parties. I would have been concerned about the safety of the homeless man after being exposed on YouTube.

  I trust the video was real.....That my fellow LPers is what generosity in this country is about. 1 person doing a good deed to help another in times of need. No government mandate in that act of kindness.

  BuzzFeed reached out to Rahat and learned that, in addition to the cash, he put the homeless man in a hotel for two weeks, gave him a bike and got him clothes and a hot meal.

  Glad to hear that! I too was concerned about his well being.
