I am watching the Today show and just saw this video. What is wrong with us?

Good question.
Decency...what is it?
I notice a decline in simple decency followed by the words thank you.
My husband and I came across a woman struggling to exit her car at a grocery store.
She was parked in a handicap space.
We were an aisle away and still quite a distance from her...
I picked up my pace and moved toward her and my husband had no choice but to follow me.
She was still struggling.
I made it to her and asked if she needed help.
She said yes.
My husband pushed me aside and helped her out of the car.
We provided an escort into the store to the mobility rider...
Extreme example, yeah.
I am hyper-aware because of my MS.
****
It is the loss of simpler acts of decency or kindness which trouble me.
