What could be more permanent?

I was playing this RPG game for some time and training for my game character. Then I start to ponder: "Why shall I waste my time doing something unreal. When I press the 'shutdown' button everything is gone."  "All that hard-earned gold, online friends, jobs, levels, skills, items, avatar appearance, attributes, etc could not be brought to real life."

Then I think "Why not I spend my time to train myself in reality; know more people, start good career, earn more money, own big properties, excels in sports, self enrichment, etc"

But one question strikes my mind - was reality another version of RPG game with a similar 'shutdown' button?

What could be more permanent?

Encounters with Samaritans

Case #1: Last week I had a bad diarrhea while in China, thanks to a kind China doctor (by then was stranger) in our tour group that had sacrificed his lunch, time, and money just to bring me by cab all the way to a hospital and get me treated for free. I recovered almost completely in the next day.

Case #2: Today another Encik pressed on my doorbell and called out my name. He asked if I had lost anything important. To my surprise I found my bag wasn't zipped that my wallet had fell off the road. He return me my wallet intact and asked me to be careful.


....continue to read if you wanna know my expression....
All of a sudden the world I lived in turns into Utopia. My expression of gratitude are beyond words. Just some simple good deeds may touch the hearts of one or two, or even millions. 

The purpose I share my experience is to let all know that good people are still around the world may God bless them, and lets do good together to make the world an even better place! Its hard to believe that every time I lost my stuff people would return it to me. Yes I do always return people their lost stuffs (smart phones, purse, pendrives, etc), maybe its time to believe in cause-and-effect?

A story from me in Cambodia

While in Cambodia 1 teenage boy approach me...

Boy: Sir, please buy this book from me, 1USD
me: Are you sure? (doube confirmed with him)
Boy: Yes, only USD 1. Please by from me, I am very poor.
me: Okay (took the book)
Boy: Its USD 11 sir.
me: I thought you said its USD 1?
Boy: No sir, USD 1 is for the Postcard....
me: Then I do not want it anymore...thx. 

I returned the book to him but he do not want to take it...until I leave the book on a rock pillars. The boy then slowly reduced the prize till USD 5 after I keep ignoring him. I felt some pity in the bottom of my heart. Also, the book he is selling is actually the book that I am looking for, and USD 5 is extremely cheap that in my heart, I really wanted to buy. I had to make a painful decision then.

me: Sorry, you lied to me, so I do not want to buy from you. 
Boy: If I do not said USD 1, would you even look at me? I am very poor, I need money to study....please buy from me...
me: I am really sorry boy, you just can't lie. You can beg, and if you're honest, I would give you some money. But you don't lie.
Boy:....

Immediately another Cambodian boy come over to sell me the same book not far away, this boy did not use that dirty tactic so I buy from him instead. I feel extremely bad for the first boy as he silently watched his fren selling that very same book to me. Somehow, there is an unspeakable pain in my heart, but I had to teach him the hard way.
