We Live in a Cruel World

This post is going to be a rant on a news report that I had watched on television last night. There was a female who was in the midst of being robbed by a guy with a knife. The homeless man jumps to the aid of the female being attacked, but in returns gets stabbed and left alone on the streets to bleed to death. Though this man was stabbed several times in the torso, with one call to the ambulance with the help of a passerby, this man could have been saved. Not one, but more than TWENTY cold blooded, heartless people walk by this dying man and does nothing. On top of that, one man calmly takes out his cellphone to take a picture of this man. (Why is it that this man has the time take out his phone to take a picture of the man dying, but cannot simply dial the three digit number, 911, to save his life?) Just because he is a homeless man does that mean that he does not deserve to live? Why is his life any cheaper than ours? If anything, I believe that this man has more right to live than those who walked by and did nothing. Other than the heartless creature who took a picture on his phone, there was another man who had shook the victim vigorously until he saw the pool of blood and left. When someone sees another person on the ground with a pool of blood around them, what do you think they should automatically do? Run? ... well that`s what this man did. You call fucking 911! It is really not that hard. Even an elemantary kid would ask for help or tell someone about it if they saw something like this. But the 25 people who walked by this poor man did absolutley nothing. When has our world become so ridiculously cruel and heartless?



I grew up being taught that if I have the ability to help someone, then do so. Even for something as simple as giving up my seat for an elder or pregnant woman. In fact, actions like these should be expected. I believe that if I help someone, they will then have the motivation to go and help someone else. Thus, everyone will be helping everyone else. This is the kind of world I would like to live in and not in a world where people refuse to help others. It is funny how some people expect or want others to help them when they dont help others themselves. Why does our world constantly become more and more selfish? This was honestly a very heart-breaking story; a story that reveals the true nature of what humanity is slowly becoming, until we decide to do something about it.
