Now on the actual caring part, I have always observed the world around me & if someone needs help I give it to them even if I don't know them. Many friends have said I was putting my own life at risk but I always did what I felt was necessary at the time. I think many feel that helping may not be worth a risk to their own lives given how they perceive society is becoming.

Thanks for being like this.
Do you remember when there was a terrorist attack in London and a man approached to help a woman who was gonna be stab by another individuo? This guy tried to prevent it facing to the terrorist with the only tool he had at this moment. This poor guy received the stab wounds instead of the woman and he died.
He was Spanish and his empathy for helping others and do what it’s fair, cost his life. But, it was something superior in himself.
These are only counted cases.
I’m not saying people have to put their lives at risk. But between this and taking the phone to ask for help instead of being there as a stupid spectator, taking pics with your i-phone, or recording a video, or interrupt your dinner rising your butt from a chair to ask a man who fell down how he is and ask for help if he’s unconscious there’s a whole world.
I don’t know how I would react in a situation that could be risky for me. The far I came is to advise a guy who was in the road with his motorbike stopped and began to argue with someone who was sitting on a table in the terrace of a restaurant, while cars and other vehicles were passing by. Immediately, my partner asked me for not intervine.
Or stopped my car in a highway to assist a man whose car overturn. Nothing risky for me.
But, what it’s sure is that I’m not the one who thinks that others will help. Maybe this is what happens many times, some people wait for others to intervine.
“ Such a wonderful world”
