Me, too. But what we can each do is not be a scumbag, that lowers the numbers by 1 each time.
I agree with everything you said. I think that's why helping people when we can is very important - it shows that person that not everyone is a scumbag, not everyone only does something nice if they are going to get something in return. Just doing something nice or kind because you can and the other person needs it is a very powerful message to the people you describe. They don't believe you at first but when you really don't want anything in return, it's a turning point for them. They have a new baseline - 'not everyone is a scumbag who is out to use, abuse or harm me for the hell of it.'
That's the way I think of it anyway.
