Read
"Great Apes" by Will Self. Understand that many of life's interactions are about alpha / beta / gamma posturings. That we are beasts inside a thin (for many people) veneer of culture and morality. Understand that if you were perceived as a beta / delta / whatever by the person you helped out, then that would be an affront to their pride that they needed the help of someone who they perceived as being inferior to themselves. That's all. A stupid reaction, but one which (in context) can be understood. Maybe even forgiven ?

Sorry if this sounds preachy - it's not meant to. But read the book anyway !
