    I have no idea who this person is. I have no idea if this is true. But i need to at least think there are people like this in the world. Especially right now. So I NEED stories like this.

      There are people like this in the world. Believe that. I can’t count the number of times people have helped me out of the blue, randomly, without prodding, when I’ve been seriously down on my luck. Empathy is one of the most primal human emotions. Only psychopaths lack it.

      Because you spend too much time on social media.

      Go to a local baseball game for kids and watch people coach kids. You’ll see it happen regularly. But you won’t, and you don’t.

      So you’d rather cling to these weird dramatic social media posts instead of be involved the boring nonsense of the everyday world that isn’t as dramatic.

        yeah but then I’ll see those same people try to run a cyclist off the road twenty minutes later because they didn’t ride in the gutter filled with bottle glass
