Is it worth a try?

Is it worth it? Is it worth getting hurt over? People say they always want to help people, but in the end you always get hurt. People say to their self everyday they want to do something good, but the society won't let them do it. Lets say a guy wants to help a old woman cross the street. Ten years ago, that would've been a nice thing to do for someone that couldn't walk fast enough. Today, if you tried doing that she probably would think that your trying to mug her. Why is this? Most people say its the way the society is. Most of everyone has went to jail in their last, at least once or twice. Seems like people went from farming together, and talking to one another to people killing other people. People are always afraid that people won't accept their help and they don't want it. It always makes someones day better by helping them without them asking you to do something for them. All we have to do is ask ourselves if it's worth a try?
