Experiment Day 15: Helping Others (Lana)

I had a long morning this morning for sure and I hope that I can get through the day.  I stopped to help this woman who was having car trouble on my way in to work this morning.  I know a few mechanics who would be able to help her and so I stopped and called Dave who is a family friend who I thought could help her get her vehicle running so that she could do the things that she needed to do today.  She was very appreciative of my help.

I wanted to ask a question on my post for today though.  I was thinking that sometimes it is dangerous to stop and help people because sometimes they are faking it and don't really have car trouble and it can sometimes become a dangerous situation.  I questioned my stopping to help out because I was alone and I didn't know if I was putting myself in a dangerous situation.  I want to help others, but at the same time I need to be careful and not put myself into situations that could be dangerous for me.  So my question to you is:  "If you seen someone stranded on the side of the road having car trouble would you stop and help them?".

    I don't know if I would be brave enough to stop and help someone on the side of the road. I guess it would depend on where I was going and what time of day it was. But if I think about if I was stranded on the side of the road, I would definitely need someone to stop and help me because I am clueless about cars. I think the woman that you helped was probably so grateful that you stopped to help her.

      I'm not really sure if I would have stopped or not, but I think it's a great thing. I think too often we assume that we shouldn't bother helping other people because they probably have a cell phone and someone is on the way. I'm sure you made her day!
