I do not understand your question.
Would you ever go outside and act like a statue just to scare the kids in your neighborhood?

Her courage was her crown and she wore it like a queen -Atticus
Pay it forward means that you pay for something that the next person ordered. I met one person who handed me twenty bucks and told me to pay for the people behind her. It is a rare act up here but not uncommon in practice in big cities where there's a ban on feeding the homeless.
As for your question, yes. I plan on doing that sometime soon.
Would you ever forgive and befriend a traitor?

I have done it many times. It is a truly joyful experience.
If you were driving at a high rate of speed and four people stepped right out in front of you, and your only alternative to hitting and probably killing them was to serve onto the sidewalk where one person was standing that would probably be killed; what would you do?
What if the four were octogenarians and on the sidewalk was a 8 year-old child; would that change your decision? What if the 4 in the road were 9 to 7 years of age and the person on the sidewalk was 80 years old, would you do it different then?
This is a question of morality and ethics that has come up in Philosophy classes.

Yes. It is a phenomenon called life, but it is actually an illusion. It may seem that your efforts or for nothing, but in reality it can often make a difference over time. So like chipping a large block of ice, it takes a while but eventually it can be accomplished.
