27. People boost, 'I got mine, everyone else can go get theirs!' in their own personel way

Do you as a person act compassionate, remain indifferent, or kick them when they are down? Better yet, give them a taste of all three!

Depends on what they mean to you, acquittance, friend, foe, lover.

This guy whined and bitched about society. Now he was leveled.

You would not be who you are if you acted differently in this situation.

It is what it is...
