Two years ago I saw a painter fall from the roof of a building as I was at a red light. I was working for the cable company at the time and without thinking I ran the red light and crossed three lanes of traffic to give im CPR until the ambulances arrived, thank the Goddess I had the forethought to call in the accident on my CB radio before I got there. He lived with only a broken ankle and collerbone (SP?) but the head trauma had stopped him from breathing, the hospital said that I saved him from serious brain damage. I am not tooting my own horn, but I am glad that when I DID face the situation I jumped in and helped, I would never just watch someone suffer and film it thinking "woah, how cool". Nor could I have lived with myself had I done nothing to help that poor man.
Granted, this wasn't a life threatening situation for ME, but I would like to think that I would have done the same had there been other circumstances, (Gas main ruptured or something along those lines.)
If we can't help each other in times of crisis, then what good are we as a social species?
