[pct-l] do gooders

By the way, Bob. Most of these so-called do-gooders you disparage are  
not doing it because they think we are fragile flowers. I think a lot  
of them do it because it's their way of being a part of our amazing  
journeys.

I found that for everything I complained about or mocked or  
disparaged in any way, my feelings had to change about it somewhere  
along the line. You won't be able to stand on principle for  
everything, and I think it's best you don't make a big fuss about any  
of your special personal rules. You're going to break one of them  
eventually, I guarantee it.

Also, all of us hiking the trail have plenty of opportunities to  
provide trail magic to each other. Having access to a car hardly  
makes you unique or better able to help others on the trail.
