Should or Should Not?

Yesterday night when we're coming out from KLFC, after meeting my bf's NEW housemate, there's a lady from China approaching us.. She said she went to Genting yesterday and had lost all her money.. Her friends went to S'pore and only will be back today.. She needs some money for her dinner.. Without wanna talking much to her, we straight away gave her rm10 and refused to give her our contact (as she said she wanna return the money to us), and then we heading home..

The first thought in my mind was, let's not think about whether she is actually cheated on us or not, we just don't want wasting our time dragging with her anymore as she keeps begging us.. And if she really needs the money, then we're just trying to help someone who are in needs.. We did something good, aren't we?

But after a while, the second thoughts come across my mind was - I feel lucky.. What if this is actually a trap where her another gang of ppl will suddenly jump out and stop our car and blablabla(touch wood!).. I felt lucky that she didn't do anything else except wanting money from us.. I feel lucky instead of happy tho it seems like we had actually help someone (who knows).. I rather being cheated on money.. Can you see the contradiction in it?

When we're small, adults keep telling us that we must help people who are in needs.. We learnt it in school as well.. But nowadays, should we help or should we not? By helping people might get us into trouble sometimes.. It's contradict, isn't?

I got scolded because of my kindness or should I say - stupidness/naiveness/brainless - whatever.. Maybe I should ignore it next time (Gosh, no next time pls) - to protect ourselves.. But you know you'll feel one kind when someone looks so helpless approaching you, but you pretend like you didn't see it and ignore her, you will feel one kind, won't you? But what if this is a trap?

What will you do if this happen to you? Should you help or Should you not?
