I read an article in the travel section of the Sunday paper. The
writer said that, when he was riding a bus in a poor country, he was
charged more than the locals for a bottle of soda. He went on to
describe his subsequent feeling of guilt over his act of petty revenge
(not returning the empty bottle) after he realized that he was getting
upset over a differential of less than US$0.20. On reflection, he
said he should not have begrudged the poor street vendor of that small
amount of money.
