I was about 3/4 done through my walk, turning a corner, when I saw it. It was a continuous stream of water ejecting out of a broken sprinkler head. It wasn't super exciting. So anyway, I decided that I should tell the home-owners that they had a broken sprinkler head. So I did.
It felt quite good telling them. I considered for moment passing by their house and not ringing the doorbell to tell them. It was for the best that I did, however. Especially with the knowledge of my own room recently ruined from a flooding of water, I was sensitive to their peril. If I were in their shoes, I would have been very grateful.
As I walked away, I felt that I had done something good. If I were in a video game, I would have gained some experience points of goodness. Conceivably, what I achieved and gained by giving them that useful knowledge was a feeling of inner satisfaction: mental, social, and spiritual satisfaction. So it was a selfish endeavor, but it was good for both parties.
