Do you more or less proactively assist random people in situations than before?

For instance, there was a time when I would leave a store an see a person, particularly a woman sort of struggling get their groceries in the back of the car, such as cases of bottled water or some other relatively heavy items...and I would come over to assist. Just helping a person out selflessly. Now? Not so much.

I know it's distressing to think this way as it contributes to more division within us as a society, but it's just the way it is.

It seems as if everything is an imposition now. If not that, they figure you are working some kind of angle or they are just downright b****y are a-hole 'ish. Maybe it's the environment....I dunno.

Another time earlier in the year I'm on the escalator going up and this chick had money sticking out of her pocket damn near about to fall out. I got her attention "Excuse me, ma'am". She turned around like I was bugging her. Then when I told her about her money, she just hissed with a half attitude, tucked her money in and got back on her phone.

I see someone who may use a little help or warning in any way, most of the time I just go about my business. Their problem, not mines.
