Reminds me of this lady running down the metro hallway trying to catch a train that was coming closer. I could tell she was on drugs and maybe living on the street.
As she was heading for the train now almost stopping at the station, she saw a man lying lifeless on a bench by the wall. She quickly ran over to him, shook his shoulder a little and asked if he was okay. As he grunted some sort of "yes", she then ran straight to the metro train. She just made it inside before the door closed behind her and the train left the station.
Of all the people on the station that day, she was the only one who cared about the man lying lifeless on the bench. She opened my eyes that day and since then I have been – mostly – able to follow her example . . .
It's unfortunately often people that recover from some serious traumatic experiences, that are the most emphatic. They know what it is like to be completely lost with no one to help.
Children are too, but somewhere along growing up, many unlearn that.
