Throughout your life, in general...... have you become more caring or more apathetic & why do you think you have gravitated one way or the other

That's a good question. I think I'm more open and considerate of different people and situations than I used to be. I'm caring towards those that deserve it and that I'm close to. Going through grief and how it affects your state of mind has made me more aware of others. (They could be experiencing pain I know nothing about.) Sometimes I struggle with personal apathy but I try and balance it.
