    Imagine this: a friend you haven't seen in years and the last time you spoke to them, you didn't part on good terms whatsoever. Now, you're walking down the street and said person is in dire need of your assistance. Whatever the situation may be, do you stop and help this person or not?
     
    Hm. I would probably help them. I'm not the type to hold a grudge against anyone, so if they asked for help... then yeah, I probably would.
     
    I guess it depends on what situation they're in. If it's something serious and requires my prolonged assistance, then probably not. I mean, I haven't seen this person in ages, I'm not going to go that far out of my way to help them. If it's something that's not so difficult to assist them with, then I'll probably help them out.

    It also depends on how bad this person pissed me off for us to leave on bad terms. If it's something that's kinda petty, I guess I wouldn't really mind helping them out. But if whatever they did was seriously bad, then I wouldn't be so happy to help them. There are a few people who've done bad things to me, and even if they were in dire need of help now, I wouldn't help them because of what they did in the past.

    Even if they were evil, I'd still help them!

    I hope that was an exaggeration D;

    Anyway, it'd probably depend on why exactly we parted ways earlier. If it was for something that I really have no tolerance for, then ***** please, go away. I don't really hold grudges, but there are a few things that I'll never really forgive someone for. That's really rare, though. In a genera, sense, I like helping people out, so if said person isn't someone that I really despise, and the situation at hand is something that I can assist in, then I'll most likely help.
     
    Sure. Regardless of what went on between us, I'd still help them. Whatever happened in the past stays in the past; it'd be a little redundant to remain upset over it. d:
     
    Of course! I'd probably stop to help a stranger so I'd like to think I'd stop and help an acquaintance regardless of what happened in the past.

    Even if I really didn't like the person, worst case is I stop and help them and show them what an amazingly thoughtful, kind, selfless person I am by coming to their aid even though we are no longer friends. Now they're in my debt and forever have to live with that mwahahahaha.

    (Then again, if their crisis is really small like they dropped their coffee and it splattered a bit and they need a napkin, I might walk on by though just to get my petty revenge on them oops.)
     
    I can't imagine a conflict so severe that a couple years time couldn't mend, but regardless, I'd definitely help them. Maybe not the most important aspect, but, had I abandoned them, what would they think of me? Any bad feelings they had would probably resurface, killing any chance of reconciliation.
     
    Sure. I don't desire enemies, and would see it as a chance to forge amends and understanding.
     
    I'd definitely help them even if I don't like them, I'm not the kind to hold grudge against someone. If I can I would probably help a stranger.
     
    Of course, without a doubt. I'll help anyone who is in need no matter who they are or what they have done in the past. The same goes to strangers. I see no reason not to, especially if that person is in a life-or-death situation.

    But then again, based on the theory of Diffusion of Responsibility and the Bystander Effect, even though how strongly one says he or she would help another in need, I doubt that they, or even I, would actually help if they are actually put into that situation. Basically, the higher the number of bystanders present at the scene, the lower the probability of one actually stepping up to help because one feels that the responsibility lies on other people's shoulders instead of his or her own.
     
    Yeah, I'd guess I'd help them. I don't really hold grudges for a long time, and I love helping people, so why not? It won't hurt me, and it'll probably rekindle our friendship.
     
    Depends on the situation. If they really need assistance, why not.
    But if the situation is far from what I think that could go worst. No, I won't.
    It's not because of the past expressions but It just doesn't concern me..
     
    Depends why we stopped being friends. I wouldn't let a petty argument prevent me from helping someone I care/cared about.
     
    Depends... If i was just something stupid that happened id save that person. If i got hurt badly from it, fate will meet that person then
     
    I would listen to their issue, and depending on how severe it was, I'd help them or not.

    But I don't really have the heart to leave a person in need,
     
    It differs per person.
    If it's someone I really liked, then yes.
    If it's someone I no longer like, then no.


    Also:
    If it's someone who needs much care, because they have health problems, then yes.
    If it's someone who can do it fine without any help, then no.
     
    Of course. I always like to be helpful to anyone regardless of what happened between us in the past.
