The important thing is that the recipient of this 'favour' must never know who dealt it. Why? Because the purest form of doing a favour is doing the favour and just that.

When people like to be recognised because they did a favour, the purity of the deed is lost because, to a certain degree, one could argue that the person did the favour to promote themselves and not to offer a helping hand.

It's good that you now know of this anonymous favouring and I hope that you will keep it up and pass the idea along to more people at the right moments in time.

Best regards,

Steve
Good point made here.

Do any of us realise though how many times we help others without realising it.
