To expand on this - I’m interested in thinking about times that a cause we support won, not only because maybe it feels good to see positive stories instead of all negative, but also because specific examples might help illustrate why it won, and reveal strategies we can use in the future.
Unfortunately I had a very opposite experience even though I don’t regret it at all. This was probably 20 years ago and I remember it was either Christmas Eve or maybe the day before and I was out shopping. There was an overpass with a fairly minor grade to it, but the car in front of me couldn’t get traction in all the slush from the heavy show we had that was now melting. I jumped out and just started pushing this car up the hill and no one else seemed to care enough to help. I didn’t even really get any kind oh acknowledgement that the driver appreciated the effort, but I’m sure they were more worried about keeping forward momentum. I don’t even know how I got footing, but I was struggling for a random person and at least I felt good about my decision later.
