Eye opener

As I drove east on Cleveland to turn north on Ravenna road and drive the last 10 mile leg of my 40 mile commute, I saw something remarkable. What I saw from a distance, at first confused me, a truck backing up in the opposing lane. As I drove near the truck came to a stop and a boy of 10 or 11 hopped out to help an elderly gentleman who was struggling to pull his trash cart to the curb. Driving by and watching the boy and the old man work together to move the cart made me think. Would I have done the same? Sadly, I don’t think I would have. What bothers me most is I’m not sure why I can say that.
