Are you really a HUMAN BEING???

I will help many as I can because it is a duty to help those whom you can without bothering to get something in return. I find it very weird when people behave as such, maybe the appearances are much more important to them than the agony of those who has fresh wound. I would definitely be the one to save than being the one who will look an go.

This one is a nice question.....Many of us ignores their moral duties towards the society.There may be millions of reasons behind that.That is really pathetic...It is our moral duty to help a person who is in need,irrespective of that person's caste,race,creed,health condition or financial stability..It is really a terrible incident. In my opinion,a person may be called a human being who feel pain when others suffer,who stretches his helping hands to a person in need,and who has self respect and consciousness.

I've had this experience of the bystander effect. Once I took a boat ride home and as the boat reached its destination sores of passengers lined up in the exit preparing to leave the boat (myself included). Suddenly this one guy fell down and had a violent grand mal seizure. Back then I was a 3rd year student in the healthcare industry and had some theoretical background on what to do during a seizure incident. The thing is I didn't help the poor guy. It was probably fear of looking stupid in front of all those people watching, or maybe I thought I would make him worse if I tried to help but I did nothing. Maybe 5 minutes went by before two guys helped him. What I learned from the lesson is that we should always try to help people who have accidents like this no matter if we have training or not, even if it would be just staying by their side while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. I'm sure that is also the way we would want to be treated when something like this happens to us or one of our family members. As a side not, if an accident does happen to you, experts suggest you point to ONE SPECIFIC person the crowd and yell for help. This removes the hypnotic feeling of everyone watching while doing nothing because this puts all the pressure on the one guy, and the guy will have to help you because the crowd is expecting him to do it. If we just yell for help it will be sometime before someone has the courage to assist us.

its not the out fit of the sufferer which decides others to help.its the nature of the human being who witnesses the incident.my daughter met with any number of accidents,badly hurt bleeding,nobody ever came forward even to lift the two wheeler off her.she had to do it herself.there is n rhyme or reason in this human behaviour.people are impulsive.

Hmm .... sad to hear stories like these. I drive a two wheeler and am a mother too - so i can correlate myself to both the incident well. As you said there are too many people to help thoe who actually don't need help and too little hands to those who actually need help. If i were witnessing something scenes like that then i would 1. See if there is anybody else volunteering to help the girl who had met with an accident. 2. Call emergency ambulence to help the pregnant woman deliver as i would persoally not know what and how to deal with the situation. BTW were you a witness in both the cases?

Very true! Thanks a lot for putting some light onto this topic. It feels painful when you see that the perception of people hasn't change over years. I don't understand what is so special in a girl wearing all the luxurious accessories??!! Why can't these so-called Humans actually behave as human beings!! Stone hearted people! Their business, their jobs don't come to their minds when scores of them move swiftly towards the girl just to pick her up and offer an artificial sympathy. Damn!

It does not matter to me who the person is or from what strata of society they come from. I am morally obliged to give assistance to them. Ther but for the grace of God go I!. I do not know ho anyone could just walk by and not render assistance.We must love one another as our God loves us and that means loving and caring for His people in nayway we can.

A very interesting question right there "Are you a human being?" Let me be candid. If I would have seen that there is someone helping either the scooty girl or the other woman, I would probably just look and pass by. But if there was no one who was helping either of the two, I would most certainly have done all that I could to help them. Every human feels pain.Who you are and what you do has nothing to do with the pain someone faces. It is a real shame when people show apathy, just because someone is poor.

Well i feel satisfied helping the people who is hungry and helpless. I think its our duty.
