Search for “woman murdered while helping motorist”.
There are too many evil people to willfully ignore the dangers of helping others. You should always, always be aware of the risks you’re putting yourself in any situation. In life, in work, in family, it doesn’t matter. And yes, that’s worth teaching children.
- londons_explore 4y agoSometimes you get something positive out of helping a stranger too... A new friend, a favour in return, or simply experience of doing something new/different. As long as the positives outweigh the dangers, it's worth doing.

He then told me how he was a bad person but had been reborn. God had told him that there are great things in store for him, and he was supposed to travel the world and marry Beyonce in New Orleans. It was an interesting experience. He turned down the ride.
- geraldwhen 4y agoThe potential dangers are death in the examples I gave. The first rule of investing is avoid ruin. We only get chance at life, so what happens on average isn’t meaningful. We have to guard against outlier events. Strangers should be distrusted by default, which is a lesson taught to children. It shocks me that some adults forget something so simple. This applies to teachers, cops, and anyone else you can think of. Trust is earned and should never be offered freely.
