would you aid a fallen person?
too often we tend to give ourselves plenty of good reasons to not help
if a person is dirty and holding a can of beer
we tend to tell ourselves
that he is just a drunk homeless guy
and he is just probably sleeping
or something
and walked away.
maybe due to bystander effect?
there are so many people around
someone who is better qualified could help him
i am just a normal person
help
we should
and we could
but
would you?
The line between good and evil, hope and despair, does not divide the world between "us" and "them." It runs down the middle of every one of us.
Robert Fulghum (b.1937)
It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It, 1990
food for thought.
