      You're absolutely right. There was a strong sense of community and shared responsibility back then that feels different today. People looked out for each other, whether they knew you or not, and that kind of care and camaraderie made a big difference. It’s inspiring to hear these stories, and I think there’s still hope to rekindle that spirit today by continuing to show kindness and support to those around us.
