It is good but I did not have that perspective as I grew up feral. I am more cunning as I am older but I still see the world from the dirt up even tho I make a healthy living. One thing I have noticed that the banding together has drifted from family,skin color, class status. Outside of the stratified older cities the melding of like minds is less identified by the older demarcation lines. Youngsters are as blindly gullable as they ever were but most of them have a better kindness factor that is beaten out of them as they age. However, that kindness factor is lasting into their early 20's rather than exiting at age 16 or so. Maybe in another generation or so a person in need will be just that, not some undeserving other who needs to be corralled and abused. One can hope.
