At on time I was training with my brothers in the way of the force. It was a short-lived attempt: after my brother lost his arm, we decided sometimes it's better to just move boxes around the traditional way. But, here is a picture from that era in days of yore.
I went to visit my parents for a couple days. On the last day, my dad was feeling sick, and so he laid down in bed. It was kind of funny he piled all the pillows all around him and he had so many he was sitting down instead of laying down.
Then somehow I got the idea that if I played a certain song on the piano, it would give him energy. Then I thought, "nah, I'll just be quiet and let him sleep." But I couldn't shake the idea, so I did. And sure enough, I didn't get through half the song before he had jumped up full of energy and was doing things. Which was great.
So if you get the idea that you should do something good for someone, do it. Don't worry about your doubts.
Read an interesting study that shows most Americans don't want to pay for other people to have healthcare, but they are willing to pay extra to help people out who have chronic conditions.

This guy was a political advisor to Bill Clinton. Some things he says I agree should happen, some things I think shouldn't happen. In any case the political system he outlines is what a lot of people think the government should do with healthcare.
“THE fundamental reasons why the electric car has not attained the popularity it deserves are (1) The failure of the manufacturers to properly educate the general public regarding the wonderful utility of the electric; (2) The failure of [power companies] to make it easy to own and operate the electric by an adequate distribution of charging and boosting stations. The early electrics of limited speed, range and utility produced popular impressions which still exist.”
Guess when that quote was made? Originally in 1916. Here is the link. I guess some things change, and some things don't.
