Do you really care?

Now some might question the sincerity of this question but I am being straightforward with this question. At least that's my story (I'm sticking to it). Think about the friends, the acquaintances, and the strangers we meet. Are we passively engaging them or are we sincere in our interactions?

Friends - My father in law needs neck surgery or become a quadrapalegic? what a choice!

Acquaintance - My former co-workers, One still struggles with M.S. (What a dastardly disease!)
The other still trying to heal from her surgery and has to heal before having another surgery.

Strangers - Do we have the mentality of 'squeaky wheel gets the oil', 'passive attentive', or something else?

Can Anyone Really engage with another with sincerity and interest?

Or do we label people as "single-servings"?
