Whats wrong with the world

Today I saw a man lying in the street… he seemed to be a drug addict but still I was worried so I wanted to call for help…my brother on the other hand didn't because “you can't save everyone” and was worried about missing the bus. I got angry because that's a rlly sick way to excuse not possibly helping someone/saving someone's life. Come on I'm not giving him a leg. Idk I always try to help people whenever I can and it's so infuriating when things like this happen. Like hello ever heard of the bystander effect?? Maybe I overreacted but this isn't the first time I tried to help someone and everyone ignored them…whatever, as I'm typing this I see the ambulance so I hope that man got the help he needed…(I pray there's still hope in humanity cause wtf.)

People have so strongly begun to accept the "it is what it is" principle and produce irony out of everything that is genuine and vulnerable. Empathy is not a weakness, it's what keeps us alive. It's like one of my favorite quotes: “We men and women are all in the same boat, upon a stormy sea. We owe to each other a terrible and tragic loyalty.�...... 1 reply

Why do you have to help him? Let me ask you, exactly what are you going to do? In the minute chance you've sent someone to rehab and they recover, is it going to do something in the long run? Is actually addressing the fundamental issue of why they're homeless, on the street, and a drug addict -- and for everyone else in that situation? The, save...... 2 reply

Theres a complete lack of empathy with a lot of people, u can be careful and safe and still be considerate and help others "You cant save everyone" is something you say when youve failed to or cant help, not when possibly saving someone can be as simple as a phone call :( 1 reply

That's true I hate the bystander effect, that's why you have to be FIRST to do things. Though must I say, you should also be careful when helping homeless people. You mentioned drug addict and they could potentially harm you, still that's nice enough of you to want to help. It's also shitty these ppl who just wants to help people get called "hero s...... 1 reply

I think it’s really admirable you wanted to help him! Empathy is such an important trait to have, and it’s really cool you wanted to even post this :) algorithms and modern society have conditioned us to live in fear of each other because of horror stories we’ve seen or heard- and when we see people suffering, it’s easier to turn the other...... 1 reply
