Attentiveness

gaslineup

Out for a walk, I noticed this lineup of vehicles (from the other direction as well, out of view) to get fuel. I surmise that there has been word that the price of gas is going up at midnight. So good for these people for being alert to this and filling up now. Smart.

But then I’m thinking, it is easy enough to be alert to changes that will affect me. How alert and attentive am I to conditions and changes that affect others? Do I act as quickly and decisively to come to the aid and support of people for whom some change brings a difference to their lives? Am I even attentive to those changes?
