YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Are there more good or bad people? More evil or kindness in the world?
To tell you the truth, I was sure that despite there're REALLY good and kind people with big caring hearts, most people are indifferent to other people's troubles.
If a trouble is not mine, there is no trouble - that is the principle of the most of people nowadays. I saw examples every day.
People are concentrated on their own lives, their own problems.
I can't say they all are evil or bad, they just don't care about others, don't pay attention to problems if they aren't connected with their family.
But the tragedy that happened in my city some days ago (mass murder, a terroristic attack, many names are given now) showed me that my opinion about people was too pessimistic!
I didn't expect how united, friendly, caring and sympathetic people could be!
If I speak about my family and my wounded nephew, I must admit that we were just covered with attention and people's wish to help us.
Our phones rang all the time, hundreds of messages, propositions of help, money support, free transport, any medical help etc.
When our boy was transported to the capital of the Crimea for the second operation on his leg, my friends from that city at once proposed us flats to live or taking care of the boy, cooking food and looking after him.
I was surprised.. I was crying when my brother (the boy's father) got new and new propositions, and his phone didn't keep silent any minute!
He said: I didn't expect that I have so many good friends...
In ordinary life we don't communicate with other people too much, don't spend time together, so we aren't close friends with them, but when the tragedy came, they all were ready to leave their own problems.
It's really priceless...
The same situation is with the whole city!
People were united by this grief! They all were like one family!
I didn't expect it either...
All Kerch web-resources were full of prepositions of any kind of help.
People were ready to give their cars, money, to come anywhere and anywhen to help wounded people or families of killed kids.
When blood was needed for operations of wounded, and the local blood station gave an ad about it, in some hours it was full of any types of blood!
People were standing for hours to be donors!
And even when they were said, that there was no need in blood any more, they didn't go away, they wanted to help!
Moreover, this tragedy united people from all Crimean and Russian cities.
Kerch groups in the social webs were full of messages from people from different places who were ready to help wounded people who had been transported to their cities for better medical help.
I was reading all these messages and propositions and understood - we are not alone!
Natalia, thank you so much for this...it brings a lot of hope. Faith in the Human Spirit.
I shared your first post about the attack, and I am sharing this as well. I appreciate how you have given us an account of what happened there, even though it must be just so hard to write it down.
I still find it hard to find the right words to say to you. Just know I'm here <3 <3 <3 Your SiSTAR.
While there is a lot of evil around even the good is not dead. But you only get to see the good in trying situations. Its good to hear you are getting good support from everyone around. Do take care of yourself and family.
Thanx for also sharing it with us, cause in our part of the world we are not even aware something like this has happened
thank you, dear!! for you support and worrying
yeah, I know the world doesn't know about it... so tiny event... there're more important news. For example, fashion trends..TV and mass-media isn't a source of info now.
I'm so glad people were there to help during such a difficult time. Love to you and yours. <3

Hello there. Fisrst of all i wish all the best for your nephew and have him strong and healthy as soon as possible in your family again.
Your article is a great sample of what is happening today in every society. Everyone seems to look after only his life until a Tragedy strikes the local society. My concern about this behavior is why all this "love" for our "neighbours" is not revealing everyday . Why "fear" and "sorrow" have to guide our behaviors ?
For me evrything would be much more better if this was't happening and people was showing his love everyday without any reason.
thank you so much! He is better now
Great news !

Друг познаётся в беде, она сплотила людей, вот он позитивчик)
Эта ситуация очень хорошо описывает как все в своих заботах крутятся как белки в колесе по замкнутому кругу, а тут - оп, и шаг в сторону (жаль что такой жёсткий... но заставляет задуматься)

STOPDo not miss the last post from @steemitboard:
Наши граждане всегда объединяются в случае опасности, просто в повседневной жизни это не так заметно. Но всегда , когда кому-то нужна помощь, даже не знакомые люди готовы помочь. Это главная особенность граждан России.
согласна, есть такое, наши открыты, иностранцы более закрыты.
If people believe a problem can be solved and know what to do, they want to help. But if they do not believe a problem can be solved, or don't even see it as a problem because it is too big (like the problem of humans suffering), then you are on your own. So both your observations are correct.
Once this emergency fades away and the pressures of life come back, those people will go away. Your regular problems will come back. Everyone will still be stuck in the same basic position, but with additional loss and pain from the disaster.
This tiresome drama repeats somewhere in our society all the time. We really need help escaping this cycle. But who is able to see that? Who knows how to solve it?
it's not in the power of ordinary people I guess...
Not so. It is potentially within everyone's power. This power must first be recovered. It is a simple matter of using what nature gives us for recovering it.
