[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647275, member: 1550"] LDM, that is so kind. Amazing. mutt, I never noticed too much what others do, but I always try to help. Having disabilities myself (that you can't see) I have always been very conscious of challenged folks and always offer to help. Sometimes it's "yes", sometimes "No, thank you." Nobody has ever been mean to me. I also hold doors for everyone who may be walking slower due to age or being in wheelchairs, etc. When I lived in the Chicago suburbs, a huge population area, people were less apt to be kind and more apt to be exasperated if their pace was slowed by somebody for any reason. Where I live now, there is a bit more tolerance and a more helpful attitude. A bit ;) My son Sonic is one of those young people who runs to offer help to anyone who is in trouble either holding a heavy bag or needing help getting into a car...he is the one with autistic spectrum, the one everyone calls "an angel." I wonder if those with their own challenges are actually kinder or just more mindful of others in need. Sonic is an amazing young man. I bring him up because I think many young people are less apt to offer help to others. [/QUOTE]
