I don't think people not caring about strangers is anything to do with the actions of those strangers, it's to do with the standards to which they hold themselves. For example, i very much dislike people and strangers, but i'll always do my best to do right by other people, because i want to be proud of myself at the end of the day. Whether the strangers appreciate it or not isn't any of my business. Yea i think there's truth in that, it would be nice if people could place less importance on material objects. But i think that anywhere in the world where there is the means (i.e. money) people will be like that. Xx
