No one takes responsibility for these trees. Over the years I have cut a couple of tunnels. 
A very decent fellow on here mentioned he had a longitude frame for sale when I started a thread a few years ago about differences in the model years . I contacted him and he offered it at a very fair price but at the time I was struggling with depression and having minimal income I became anxious about whether I could afford it . I apologised for wasting his time and explained it was best if I left it .
He replied " how does this sound ...pay for the postage and you can have the frame /forks + a dropper post etc "
Initially I felt I couldn't accept it but he explained he'd been through lots of hard times and was currently doing OK so would like to help me out . I later discovered he was far from flush and worked in a low wage environment although finally doing something he enjoyed . I still have the frame ..awaiting building up ..to be completed very soon . As someone who has often come to the conclusion there are a lot of unpleasant, selfish ,unkind folk out there ...This demonstration of kindness from a stranger made me realize there are some truly good people around ..they just don't shout about it or get in the news.
I hope to repay his kindness one day or do similar for another . That is what he actually asked me to do in the future ..if I was able ..to help someone else . I do help others ..in fact I'd help anyone out apart from maybe those who take advantage ..and of course that has often happened .
Finally a lady told me that I had restored her faith in humanity when one day she observed me helping another . I was driving a bus in Exeter ..past the blind school where students await transport. Although I wasn't stopping there as I drove past I noticed a young man standing alone , holding a sign in his hands with details of the bus he needed . Sadly he was holding it upside down and nobody appeared to let him know ,so I pulled up 100m down the road , walked back and let him know , then returned to continue the journey . At the last stop on the route , the last passenger who got off was an older woman who said I had made her day and as mentioned earlier ..restored her faith .... . I did feel good afterwards but I didn't do it for that reason ..it was simply the right thing to do .
In some ways ..the easiest way to incorporate a random act of kindness into your daily life might be to simply , always let the driver , who is facing you and waiting to turn right , go . More than one car generally benefits and traffic would flow much better if we all did such small things . The Dalai Lama says regularly if you want to be happy just be kind ..everyone benefits ...and it appears so true .

I love coming back to the uk just because drivers are so much kinder than in Belgium and generally do this sort of thing. It makes me happy every time
...You shouldn’t really have to think about these things but they don’t know you and the idea is to remove stress rather than add it.
Ah, clearly I wasn't too scary. Came back from hols to find this in my letterbox. Makes it double worthwhile

^there should be an image there. I'll try reposting
I saw a very confused looking elderly lady stood at a self-service checkout in the local supermarket the other day, so went over to see if I could help and she had no idea how they worked. A few minutes later and I'd helped her scan all her shopping through and pay for it. It didn't take much time but helped save her from standing around feeling confused until an assistant arrived.
