The world is warped

Maybe it's not the world but the people in it. I have been distressed over a news item I saw of a man hit by a car in Connecticut earlier this year. No one stopped to help him for what seemed to be a long time.
Is it that he didn't have a "Not-for profit" sign attached to him? Did he need a tagline on him so that the person helping him could write it off as a tax-free donation to a charitable cause?
It seems people do not give of themselves.
Even this site ~ all this 'show' and 'glitz' and promotion of 'spirituality' is just a new form of consumerism and commercialisation.

Well, you could look at things another way, no? Perhaps no one stopped because they assumed that everyone else around was a good person and that the next human being who came along would help. Perhaps the reason he had to wait for so long was because everyone believed that the other travelers were bound to help…
