I helped a dog get back to it's owner a few days ago. The dog was in the road and kept running out into traffic. People were swerving and slamming on their brakes to at least try to keep from hitting him, but NOBODY else stopped to help him.
I stopped and got him, called his owners, and made sure he got home. People were honking at me, rolling down their windows to scream at me, flipping me off, and cussing me for making traffic slow down. We're not talking a major traffic back-up here - it might have taken them 15 seconds longer to get through the area - there isn't even a signal light there to have to wait for.
Are we too busy now? Too heartless? Too self centered?
Do you personally feel that we have a responsibility to help others (including animals) when able, or do you feel that your only responsibility is to you and yours? I DO feel that it is our obligation to help others when the opportunity is given.
All answers welcome! Thanks!
