Moral Dilemma

So yesterday I covered Event 24 - $2,500 PLH/PLO with Eric, Tony and some other guys. After a long day we all headed back to the hotel to plonk out and get some well earned sleep. However, I hadn't eaten that much and was really craving some food; so after showering and cleaning up a little I decided to head down town to find some food.

As I paced Freemont street looking for anything to eat, mind you it was 3am in the morning, the only thing I could come across was Maccas. So as I sat down and chomped down a sausage and egg mcmuffin, a hash brown and a minute maid orange juice I slowly started to notice the abundance of not so fortunate people, or 'bums' strolling round Freemont st.

Departing Maccas I was greeted by a guy looking for change. Feeling pretty happy I decided to empty my pocket to him which consisted of about 84 cents. As I walked away I thought to myself, "the next time someone like him asks me for money I'm going to ask him what he wants it for". I'm not sure if its a moral dilemma I have, but I don't really want to be giving a bum money if they're going to use it for drugs, booze or flusy women.

Not longer then 10 seconds later another guy aproaches me. "Hey man, you got like 80 cents? If you give me a dollar I can give you change". Responding with, "Sorry mate, I just gave my change to that guy", I thought about what he might want it for and asked him "What do you want it for buddy?". Responding with "I just wanna get some food", I opened my wallet and handed him a dollar bill.

Once back at the Nugget I made my bed which consisted of a lilo covered with a doona cover and a small pillow, followed with another doona on top. The result . . . the best sleep I've had since arriving in Vegas! Was it karma in helping those two guys out, or was it a deserved good sleep . . . ??
