Why don't we help others anymore?
In Australia there is a story in the news of a woman who was kidnapped and later killed. But the weird thing about this story is that 8 people heard her scream. No one came to her rescue but what really got to me was that no one even called the police.
Now fair enough, people are scared now days. If someone is getting mugged people will just stand around and do nothing. They care about themselves being hurt rather than helping someone. And as much as I don't want to say it, I think I would do that too. I wouldn't risk my own life to save someone else. It sad, but it's the truth. But what got me was that no one even bothered to call 000 (911). With every man and his dog having a phone you think someone would have at least called for help.
They said on the news a few days later that people are pretty much sheep. Because this woman didn't yell "Help Me, Call The Police" no one thought that it would be a good idea to call someone who could actually help. Another theory was that these 8 people though that one of the other 7 people might call the police. What a sad, sad world we live in.
What would you do if you were in a similar situation? Would you risk you own life and help? Would you at least call the Police? Or would you just walk away like these 8 people did because they thought that this woman might be having a fantastic orgasizm instead of - I don't know - getting kidnapped.
