There was a topic that I really wanted to discuss on the podcast. I had an incident that I don't feel that I handled well and I wanted to talk about it. I had an opportunity to help out a young gal, probably high school age. She was pulled over at a gas station I was getting fuel at and she had a plastic panel dragging below the driver seat. I could clearly see she needed help as she was visibly distraught. I approached her car after fueling up and asked if she was okay. She was on the phone with someone. She said she was okay and gave me a thumbs up, so I left her alone and left the gas station.
The whole way home I was upset that she was stranded and wondered how I would feel if that was my daughter. I was beating myself up for not pushing a little harder to help her out. It was a simple fix that we could have got her back on the road in probably 20-30 minutes. If my daughter was stranded I would hope that a good person would help her out.
When I talked with a couple female friends they both said the same thing. They wouldn't accept help from someone they didn't know. That made me sad. I know so many good people who would want to and be able to help with no ulterior motive. I personally believe there are so many more good people in the world than bad. I'm also not naive. I know there are bad actors that would absolutely take advantage of people if given the chance. I understand why she said she was okay, and didn't want my help. But I also feel like I let her down by not pushing just a little bit harder to help her out. I now think that if I had rephrased my question and talked to her a little bit I could have been able to help her in that situation.
I truly hope she made it home safely and someone was able to come to her rescue. I also wish that people would trust their neighbors again. Most people are trustworthy and want to do good in the world.
Welcome to the new segment of the Uncensored Humanity Podcast we will be calling Joking in the Boy's Room. My two co-hosts Ethan Frontz and Dennis Heil and I will be discussing current events and other topics we find interesting. The three of us will be sitting down once a month to record a new podcast.
In the future I'd definitely like to get into answering listener submitted questions. So hopefully we can get that going as I think it would be fun to see the boyos perspectives on submitted questions.
