When did humanity disappear?

Oct 19, 2011 @ 14:16

Hi,

Just seen this video and it is very shocking to see humans walking over a very obviously critically injured child.

I had lost faith in humanity to some degree already,

Old folks dragging bags up stairs in train stations, airports with business men/women practically trampelling them in order to get their copy of the financial times instead of quickly grabbing the bag and pulling it up.

People not giving up seats in trams for our elders or pregnant women.

Helping an upset lost child in the supermarket. It takes 2 seconds to take them to a staff member.

I could go on but I won't, but are we really at the stage now where we ignore a child that has been run over in the street and left to die???

The reason I am posting this is in hope that it may affect at least one person, and you will help that old lady up the stairs at cornavin this evening, even if it means missing your train...

My idea is that... it stopped when the human being created money...? However, as there won't be much money available any longer very soon... humanity might come back? lol

Does this sound right? Is there a prize to win if you get the right answer?

Sorry, probably difficult to read between the lines: I am being sarcastic about the human being, not the link (which I have not even opened as I guess it reveals too much about the sad side of the human being).

Humanity within ALL of humankind as we would like it has NEVER existed. It is a dream that may come true in the future, but not for many generations.

We are only just out of the dark ages...and for every positive there is a negative.

The reason threads like this occur, the reason why there is a need for so many charity organisations, the reason there is a need for "peace keepers", the reason for so many things we try and do right, is simply because there are so many of us who DONT do the right thing, and dont care.

True and I like to believe all of us can do better and that I can have my share in it :)

Oh, and negative can become positive , don't you think...
