Why we don't help each other.
Posted as a counterbalance to the ...
The Kindness of Strangers thread, I suppose.
But we do help each other. We're a cooperative species. That's our greatest survival asset. Without that, we'd still be monkeys in the trees. Or extinct. Probably extinct at the paws of highly evolved cooperative lions.
Cooperative, like bankers and American citizens...
Without loads of cooperation, there is no civilization.
I help people all the time - they're called "Family and Friends" and occasionally I'll even help a stranger - under the right circumstances.
Some people are beyond help, others do not deserve it, many don't want it and a few don't need it.
