::: spoiler Image Transcription (A 4Chan “green-text”, titled “Altruism”, with a close-up photograph of a turtle on the pavement) Riding bike through town See something strange on the side of the road Decide to stop and investigate It’s a turtle tucked into its shell Hold finger in front of shell Turtle pokes its head out, sniffs finger, and then retreats back into it’s shell It’s a hot day, and there are no bodies of water nearby There’s a river a few miles away, decide to take the turtle there Ride bike with one hand while holding the turtle People look at me strangely Don’t care, the turtle is all that matters Turtle pokes its head out when going fast downhill Probably the fastest the turtle has ever gone Finally reach the river Set the turtle on the shore under some shade After about 10 seconds the turtle crawls into the water Looks back at me before submerging and swimming away Feel more emotion in that moment than I have in the last few years Despite my mistakes and shortcomings, a creature’s life was made better by my existence Is using our time to help others the real answer? :::
