🚨 We emergency 🚨

🏍......

I witnessed a road accident this afternoon.

The driver directly in front of me swerved into a motorcyclist while trying to get past the congested traffic.

I had a front row seat to the motorbike toppling over and the rider crashing to the ground.

I naively assumed the car driver would pull over and stop, so I didn't even consider remembering his details.

Instead I jumped out of my car, and ran up to the man sprawled out on the road.

I then spent the next twenty minutes holding his hand waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

And as always happens in these emergencies, strangers pulled together to help. An instant community was formed around a stranger.

A young man became a traffic marshall. Two older women collected the missing motorbike pieces. A man appeared from the Muslim centre across the road and asked if his first aid skills were needed. Someone else offered to make phone calls to inform loved ones.

Looking up from the asphalt, it felt as we were surrounded by a circle of helpers.

And me being me, of course thought about G♡za.

And how it's such a natural response to rush to help when someone has been hurt.

No questions asked.

So what is it that blocks that "reflex" from taking place in the context of the gen0cide?

What makes "good people" look away and walk past?

I'm curious what your thoughts are on this. And I hope that there are some people who can give insight to what keeps them from "helping".
