Thanks for the kind words. It's not just about being a "good person", though I do try to be sympathetic towards my fellow travelers in life. It's more about being effective. Yelling at someone is just generally not a good way to motivate people, especially if they don't actually have the power to change the situation.
I'd also call that enlightened self-interest, which is a good thing IMO. The world needs more of it.
Folks are not usually doing the opposite because they are intentionally being ineffective. It's a matter of either lack of knowledge or experience on how to do better, or more commonly, inability to manage themselves to a better state in their environment, and an environment that doesn't direct them to being in a better state either. It can be very difficult to do. Some people can't do it even in the most ideal of environments.
So kudos for managing yourself to be in a good place in a harsh environment, or good fortune for being in an environment that directs you in a good direction - or likely a combination of both to various degrees. Either way, sounds like a plus for folks you interact with.
