I didn't realize how many folks actually refuse to help others because of fear of a setup. Chances are that person actually needs just a few minutes of your time to make a big difference in their day. Stop and help, you will be glad you did - and so will the other person.

i feel the same way. this is someones maybe my wife, mother, sister. i would not be able to sleep with myself knowing the person that does stop to "help" could have other intentions. i will always help when i can.
god bless.
