Regarding the question of whether or not I would jump in to help someone: I would like to think I would, but to be honestly truthful, I probably would not. The reason is fear. Fear of something going wrong. Getting hurt myself. And these days, fear of a lawsuit.

But I am glad there are others that aren't afraid to jump in and help. I myself was once the recipient of such a generous act. Back around 1980, when I was about 12 or 13, I had gone to the city library and a group of older boys started to attack me where my bike was locked up and some man came to my rescue. He scared them off then asked me if I was okay. I was so afraid that all I could do was say yes and run off. Now, I wish that I could tell him thanks. That all these years, it has meant a lot to me and I feel he saved me from a very unpleasant circumstance. I don't feel I showed enough gratitude at that time and hope he didn't feel like he had wasted his time, because he went up against a gang of kids that could have turned on him as well. You just don't know.
