    If you had never met me, did not know who I was and you passed by me and I was sitting on a bench quietly crying what would you do?

    Ask, are you alright?
    I would stop to see why you're crying and if there is anything that I could do to help.

    One of the main problems with the way the world is now is that people don't care about anyone but themselves. It's a sad fact, but true. Read the newspapers any day of the week and see why people are killing and hurting each other, mostly for selfish, self-centered reasons. Until we learn to love one another, help one another and remember what compassion is all about, our world is doomed. We don't need a rapture to take place on a certain day, it is happening each and every day. Is it truly so hard to hold out our hands to another in need and offer our help? Is is so hard to say that you're sorry for anothers pain and suffering and offer a shoulder to cry on.

    Thank you Darci for making me think a little about how I would treat someone else rather than myself, and thank you to all those that would offer compassion.

    I have to disagree 6dogs4us. I see kindness and love all the time from people. If there were ever a good news channel I think we would all be suprised as to the amount of kindness going on every day. Sure there is bad and very sad things going on as well but please don't overlook the good too.
    6dogs4us

    I agree with you on that Mom, a news station showing only the good. Yes there is good in the world but not reported enough for sure. The things you see in the newspapers and TV are mostly the bad. But I still think that across the board most people are complacent, not good or bad. Being complacent is just as bad as not caring about others.

    Thank you very very much 6dogs4us, to me you have hit the nail on the head. I am not saying there is not good in the world, there is, I am not saying everyone is bad, they are not, I am simple trying in my own way to say that we and that includes me (and I for one am trying harder every day to change that in me to do better) that we as a society as a whole, tend to turn a blind eye, turn the other way, walk away, try to pretend we do not see someone's pain or hurt. I for one myself hope and pray that God shows me ways even if it is the smallest of things whatever I can do to help another shoulder the burdens in life, offer a helping hand, offer a hug, kindness, a listening ear a shoulder to cry on whatever I can do each and every day that is what I want to strive to do. Thank you again.
    say a prayer silently to god for you

    I'm sure I would do that also. As I walked away.
    i WOULD BE VERY CONCERNED AND ASK IN NICE TONE IF THERE IS ANYTHING I COULD GET YOU AND DID YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHY YOU ARE CRYING AND HOPE YOU WOULD TALK BACK TO ME AND HOPE I COULD HELP YOU IN ANYWAY, DO YOU NEED TO TALK! GOOD QUESTION MEL
    Ask if I vould help in some way.
    Whats the reason to want to do a people check here? I'm not sure why we have to be tested as to our integrity. I would think that by reading the kindness and honesty in our answers would show yu what kind of people we are.

    Excellent and appropriate reply.
    Mind my own business,but hope your not in too much distress.
    Perhaps, I would walk on by too. It depends on the situation. If a bully was standing over you, I would walk over to help.
    I had a friend who did go to ask if a girl was ok. She started to scream. It is hard to know how to handle these things in the world as it is these days.
    Let you pet my dog.

    Look the other way and keep walking..........
    Darci13

    That is truly sad Randy never thought I would hear that from you. Doing a people check ......
    Headless Man

    I would assume it was a private matter an emotional problem that you would want to be left alone.
    You did say quietly crying, so not like you were in pain.
    Darci13

    I see. But I guess I think now days too many people walk away and look the other way and do not even offer any kind of kind words, maybe a hug, or just sitting there and see if listening would help I guess?
    Headless Man

    I'm no hugger and if I knew the person that would give me the right to ask if I could help.
    Assuming you are a woman, as I am a bloke it would not be appropriate for me to approach you as it could be miscontrued.
    The crying girl on the London subway system is a frequent sight. A female friend asked one girl if she could help and got an earful of obscenities.
    Darci13

    I am sorry that happened with the girl on London subway. I understand. But I am very much trying to learn to stop, look, listen, lend a helping hand, be there for someone and look for ways even if only small that I can help lend someone a helping hand. But I do understand that it is taking chances, but I have always heard it said that hurting people hurt people does not make it right, but they are hurting so I for one am going to try my best to look beyond that and try anyway.
    Just for myself I guess not meaning anything harmful to anyone.......
    that is a good answer Ann, that is what I would do. I just think too many people turn a blind eye look the other way it is not always about money sometimes it is just needing to know that someone cares enough to stop and try.
    I like that Freedom Fighter a dog can just about bring a smile to anyone's life.
    Thanks Pamela good answer .....
    i would walk by and give you a big bear hug.then ask about joo feelings..
    hug u,,tell u things always get better
    Darci13

    You know people need more of that I know this too shall pass, but sometimes you just need someone to give you that hug and to remind you that things will get better. Thank you danny mac......
    I would very likely check it out! See if there was something I could do to help! It almost makes me cry to see someone crying! I can't stand hurting people!! (Like...people that are hurting.)
