Society at it's most primitive, Darwinism has reached it's peak. Options

Im facing a sort of personal, morale dilemna here. When exactly was it when I stopped caring? I'm with my brother and we get pulled over. He has multiple warrants and gets arrested on the spot. Didn't care at all. My mother comes down to the police station in tears, frantically searching for my brother. She's in hysterics and crying the entire time. I didn't care, I kept telling her to calm down. He recently got into a fight and got his jaw kicked in. I didn't care. And it's not only family, I've noticed that I've become less compassionate in a lot of things. People I see on the bus or walking down the street, the beggar who asks me for spare change for food and I tell him Im broke while holding a ten dollar bill in my pocket that I dont really need, old people who cant remember where they are or what they're doing and need help, I don't lift a finger or volunteer to help, I just try to mind my own buisness. What I'm getting at is that I don't like how I've become, how uncompassionate I am, how I've decided it's better not to get involved than to show a little good samaritanism. I want to be a big brother, a mentor, a good example. someone to look up to, but also not become an outcast because of this. What I mean is that I don't want to be shut off from the world for simply trying to help others, I'd like a life of my own as well. Chivalry died a long time ago, now Darwinists are enjoying their time of fortune, our civilization has slowly re-reared towards the kill-or-be-killed mindset and nobody seems to notice, or care. I'm sick of it. I want things to change.

^He's talking about apathy. Seeing people in need and not caring. And to be honest, I think we can all feel like this at times. Me, I'm the complete opposite. I get guilted into helping people SO often, I'll give someone $20 without question even if it's all I've got on me if it means they have enough gas to get home. I let my brother take my car ALL the time (that's a biggie) when I shouldn't because I'm not even finished paying for it yet. I woke up at 7am the other day to take his girlfriend to school when it turned out she lived only a block away and I pulled into her neighborhood literally right behind a school bus. I can't help it, but I bleed myself dry trying to help people.

To the original poster, I'll bet you're like me, too, and maybe you're just feeling tapped out. If that's any indication of how all this is going to make me feel, perhaps I should stop letting people take advantage of my inability to say no. >.<
