Lavender, I hear ya. Despite what some may think, it's not about being anyone's keeper, mommy, or daddy -- it's about doing for another what you'd have done for you should the occasion ever arise (for whatever reason). You never know what's going to happen, and terrible things can happen to the best of us! One can easily have something slipped into their drink -- even the most cautious of people have gotten shafted out there, so I think we need to give the benefit of the doubt and simply care because a life is a life. Hell, that crackhead you save just might straighten out after a scare... and if things get better, then you've done a double good deed. - meli -
