Does that matter?

Oddly enough, decades later, I can say: yes it does.

People I came through for before seem to pop up in my times of need now. And people who helped others when we were younger now have amazing support networks, which makes a huge difference.

But hindsight being 20/20, does the future potential of someone to repay in kind influence your decision to help a friend now?
