Struggling put several boxes in my car. Two male neighbors are speaking about God's Love. They see me wrestling and dropping stuff, say and do nothing. I was socialized to say please, thank you and bring aid to those in need. Is this just these kids today or Fear Culture? Or yes?

I am still old fashioned when it comes to courtesy. Besides having a dog, I think every dog in the neighborhood knows me. They don't bark at me, and come up to me for a hello.

I love that. I attract all the cats, dogs, kids and weirdos. I must have SUCKER written on my forehead in invisible ink that I personally can't see. It's generational in your case I'd say, as well as sensible upbringing.

It doesn't mean SUCKER, it means you are KIND and CARING. I seek not to mistreat anyone, and you are the same. Your cat says so.

I'm caring but not always kind. If I witness or am the focus of a real or perceived injustice I lose it. But I never physically hurt. My father once told me I could put curses together better than a Teamster or longshoreman. I was 8 I think. Oh, waking me up also is dangerous! :D

Animals can sense who you really are? If an animal dislikes someone there is a reason, and I trust their reactions.
