“The ideal man takes joy in doing favors for others,” Aristotle has said.

And the Bible commands us to perform a “mitzvah,” a good deed or moral imperative every day.

What favors, large or small, have you been asked to do?  Which have you done spontaneously?  Have you done any begrudgingly?  And what favors have you asked of others?
