    Would you take more notice of a plea for help from someone you know than someone you don't know? Would you only offer assistance if it did not interfere with whatever you were doing at the time? Would a bad mood prevent you reasuring someone who needs help? Are we more self-involved than we like to think and do we only do what suits us best? Would we not get a certain amount of pleasure out of helping someone? But then, would they bother to say thank you or are they just like us?

    odd.
