After the flood

...there is a heatwave.
The impact of both are not very severe for myself. However, the impact on my conscience are considerable.
The Bauernbergpark Man has reappeared on his new double-bed place (double park bench) and seems to enjoy the heat. For him it is probably the first time this year to get really dry.
Although I have spent two Euros on a homeless guy this morning, I failed to help an elderly lady with a walking-aid thing in the tram today. My first failure today.
My second problem is that I haven't done anything for the flood victims yet.
I would like to donate some money but I do not trust the administrative channels, the money is pumped into. So I think I will wait for a direct opportunity to help, like the one that I missed today. However, a middle-ages lady helped the other woman and showed me how it works.
Next time I will help, too, instead of being to slow and too passive.
As regards philosophy, consider this as an excursion into the pragmatics and ethics of everyday life.
C'est la vie.
