There's a lot of truth in what you wrote.
Would I change to make 1% of strangers happy? That would depend on if in doing so it made me happier as well. I would extend a hand out to strangers but in this day and time often times when you extend your hand in friendship you end up pulling it back minus a few fingers. More cautious, more reserved, but still willing to help and happy when it is received in the right way. Giving has its own rewards.
