How distrustful the world has become of each other.

In the last month Ive seen two woman struggling with a child and bags of groceries to get to the car. Both of them declined my offer to help and one stared at me like I had snot running out my nose.

About a year ago I offered to help a woman with her bags and her 4 or 5 year old daughter, I was answered in the following way. "My daughter doesn't talk to males ever and that's the way Im gonna keep it".

I have pretty much given up trying to help anyone anymore, I find I am treated like a criminal, I dress ok, Im clean, I drive a good car and Im friendly.

But I wont offer to help anymore unless its an emergency.
