I’d like to know your opinion and explanations to whatever option you chose.
I’m starting from the idea that any generalisation is unfair.

I ask this question because a neighbour told me about a experience that shocked and hurt me a lot.
He’s the most emphatic person I know, the nicer person. He has different illnesses such as chronic fatigue, ankylosing spondylitis and a cyst in his brain. This last one made him sometimes to lose his body balance and can fall down and be unconscious for some seconds. But, he is going through a time now where he’s full of optimism. He gives walks with his two doggies. ( He was gonna adopted one but he discovered that there was another doggie who were the sister of the former, with this you can make yourself an idea of what kind of person I’m talking about &#128512
Now, the doggies learnt to wake him up when he suffers a loss of conscience.

Well, he told me about the last falling he had because I asked him. He said that it was recently, and that he was next to a coffee shop, full of people outside, in the street having their dinner.
He even got to injured in the falling but when he got to his senses, he realised that noone had moved a finger to rise him or go close to him.
Only a waiter asked him if he needed the coffee shop’s first aid kit. Noone called an ambulance or did anything for him. I know how he is and I’m sure he asked the waiter for not worrying about him and he said that he didn’t need anything. But…
This indifference is something I can’t understand. And it hurts me in an incredible way more that it happens to people so nice a collaborative with others.

I know it’s only an example but I see everyday how people do their business, go pass you and many times if they have to pass stepping on you to go first, many of them, will do it. The same I see with people driving cards, using public transports, when they go for shopping…
people complaining about everything and blaming others if they didn’t get what they want and go to schools to blame teachers and put all their frustrations and problems on them, or go to public offices with a bad attitude towards the person who is at the other side of the counter, etc.

It’s supposed we had evolved to adapted to live in a Community.
What is happening? Educative patterns are failing? Is good citizenship understood more like obedience than collaboration or compassion? Is nowadays “Carpe diem” and self-satisfaction take to an extreme for the sake of get more consumers?
I don’t know it. Which is the beginning or what’s the root of all these?
Is it maybe something we need, as an evolution, an adaptation to new times? Am I wrong and being unfair when I say there were more collaboration and a better disposition to give someone a hand when it’s needed?
Is that we only show these good citizenship with our know people?
