Today I was driving down the road and saw a mini trailer that went off into a ditch. All the wood inside fell out and it was raining. I just said, "oh, that sucks..." and I kept driving. I then began thinking, why didn't I stop? Did I think I could do anything? Was I rushing? Did I not want to get wet in the rain? Or did I just not want to?
How many times a day do we say or think that? It's like our society and our upbringing teaches us to be empathetic, but not how to do something about it. Everyday I see someone drop something, or I see a commercial of babies with swollen bellies, or I see someone calling someone an ugly name. I say, wow that sucks, and that's where it stops. I never help the person pick up their books, nor do I donate money to the cause.
I don't know why either... but let me think about it and maybe I'll learn a little more.
