Dude! Being older I have seen this before. As you stated, many Americans are in fear. Not only the war issues but also the economy stuff. It seems that when too much negativity is floating around people tend to become more withdrawn, suspicious and less willing to take risks. And that includes talking with strangers and in general exposing themselves to others. I've noticed it during previous rough times.

Whether you try to communicate with others because you feel it's the right thing to do or, as Mark says, it helps you feel good about yourself, keep on truckin'. As always, you never know what path the other person is on at the time, so there is no guaranteed reward. I do believe though that being nice is contagious too.

I am nice to people regardless of their reaction. I want to be able to think back at the end of the day and say, "Yeah, I'm a nice guy." Because I'm doing it for me. It makes me feel good to be nice, and I want to live happy, not in fear.

And hopefully the people that didn't respond with matched enthusiasm, or didn't respond at all will think back at the end of their day, "Wow, there really are nice people in this world!" and it will provide a happy moment in their life. Peace.
