Question

If you saw a $20 bill on the ground, would you pick it up?



After work I found what I thought was a $20 on the sidewalk outside of my office building. I looked around to see if there was anyone who might have dropped it, and there was no one, so I picked it up. As I walked to my car I started to feel guilty about picking it up. Maybe whoever lost it really needs it and was on their way to look for it. Or maybe some drug addict would have picked it up and used it to go buy drugs, and in picking it up I did them a favor. When I got to my car I unfolded it and realized that it wasn't just $20, there was a $10 folded inside of it. I have never really found much money before. I remember when I was about 10 or 12 I found a $10 bill on the street near our house and it was right before mother's day so I used it buy mom a mother's day gift. Maybe I should use this $30 to buy my mom a mother's day gift. Or maybe I should donate it to a charity or give it as an offering at church. Any thoughts or suggestions?
