@pvctom2021 You certainly have many members in your corner here, all of us with examples of how to navigate the world today. Like you, it is difficult to keep my mouth shut when I see something going on that shouldn't be. I try to think kindly, but it doesn't always work. Everything is pretty black-and-white to me. A phrase that sometimes is uttered is, "some people's children!" since we are all children of somebody.

Several weeks ago I was in a store, and an elderly lady was confused where to go to the checkout line. They opened a new one, so I led her and her basket to it, putting her in front of me. Oh, heavens it was going to take a long time to get her goods onto the conveyor belt. So, I turned to the young man behind me, there with his mom, and asked him to help her. Oooh, if looks could kill! But he did it, and I thanked him. Then when she was getting checked out, I had him help bag her groceries up. No, I didn't know him, or his mom. I felt the mom should have stepped up and insisted he do it; by the way, this young man was about 25! I told him he had earned his angel wings for the day. They could have refused, and I would have stepped up to do it, dragging my cane with me, but they didn't. We never know what anyone is going through.
