Somebody Else's Problem

The world is getting crazier by the minute.I know that sounds cliched but in a way it's a fact by now.Just the other day i remember reading in the papers that there was this dude who got beaten up by a gang of youths for fun..pointed out by the way they just continued jaywalking laughing the whole incident off.One might think "Yeah well that happens all the time bla bla" but let me reiterate that this incident happened in a public area,in broad daylight..it was around noon,and it happened at a bus stop when there are many people around.If that still doesn't make one bat an eyelid..it just shows how full of apathy and selfishness many if not all of our society has become..it's already sad enough with the sordid state of affairs all around the world nowadays..it's much worse when the peoples who are the cornerstones where a nation hinges on collapse under the pressure of those who are wanton on creating disharmony among society..

Sure..one might think it's just somebody else's problem..why should i care and cause unnecessary trouble on myself on behalf of another person whom i seemingly have not even had a single second of acquaintance with??I'm not here to say that i'm in any way holier than thou or not.Frankly if I was in that situation i think i'll just get stunned and not be able to move a single muscle to do anything at all since i'll be way too confused and terrified like nuts.However,what i do want to point out is..we do not know when or where things like this might happen.It might happen right now or the day after tomorrow.It might happen to someone who is close to you.. so IMHO one should seriously think over these things..because who knows?It could just happen to me myself or you yourself one day..and it could be that nobody will come to our rescue.

On a lighter note,let me share with you something i read from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' regarding S.E.P.s .'An S.E.P.,is something that we can't see,or don't see,or our brain doesn't let us see,because we think that it's somebody else's problem.That's what S.E.P. means.Somebody Else's Problem.The brain just edits it out;it's like a blind spot.If you look at it directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is.Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye.'

It's funny yeah.But there is a profound meaning to it if you look at it with a different perspective.
I rest my case.
