Luck
I picked up a crumbled wad of bills from the sidewalk as I walked to my car. $16. My lucky day! Reminded me of when I was a kid and found a $20 bill on the ground.
By the time I got to my car I realized that my good luck was someone else's bad. Maybe they needed that $16 way more than I.
OK, no problem. I'll turn it in to the campus police and whoever lost it will get it back if they check.
Unfortunately this happened on Thursday as I left campus for the weekend. I'm pretty sure that if you lost the money on Thursday you wouldn't check on Tuesday to see if anyone found it.
My way out of this moral dilemma is to contribute $16 to the Student Food Pantry on campus. Someone who definitely needs it more than I do will benefit.
