An attitude of indifference is not compatible with the Christian life. No matter what situation we find ourselves in, no matter who we are around, the idea of loving God and loving neighbor makes an attitude of indifference impossible. We cannot look upon someone else's suffering or error with an uncaring attitude.
The key though, to communicating with someone regarding their situation, and actually being able to help, is often difficult to engage. We must determine how to communicate love and compassion without being bossy or nosy. This means establishing a relationship with someone before trying to help. Oftentimes, merely being someone who listens will go a long way to help. Loving without judgment is a goal to drive after. Learning to recognize the needs of those whom we come across, whom God brings into our path, is a habit to form.
Learning to love unconditionally is the majority of the battle. Pray for the means and the opportunity to practice loving your neighbor.
