Apathy

Talking about that word, first thing crossed my mind is Wang Yue. He is the 2 years old child that hit by two cars while eleven near passerby-s just apathetically walk away without even helping her. Very ironic yes.

Is apathy a result of modernization of this world? Has our people lost the humanity more day by day or it's just Chinese moral like many said?
I'm not a racist and i completely disagree with the last one.

Apathy, is not reasonless. Let me tell you a story from my day.

We studied in dentistry faculty which, everyone know, a lot of money will be spent. There's a work using the gyps. A friend of mine had just brought a plastic bag of gyps. Another friend ask her if she had any gyps left instead of buying a plastic by herself, the she gave some. And then another friend who knew it asked too, and another and another and another until when she was going to use it again, she found that the plastic had emptied.

That's not happened once or twice. Moreover, it's a common situation in my faculty. Another friend of mine even ever said,"When you bought a materials and brought it to the laboratory class, you have to ready to loose it all, though the instruction said you just need to use a little."

Well then, some student (including me) sometimes decide to "not saying out loud" (or 'hide' =D) when we have material stock during the class. Even if we knew someone need it. Apathy. But if you don't do that, yeah you has a pure gold heart, and you will run out your monthly transfered money before half of the month.

What am i saying here is, human is born as social creature. And every human does. So, how the apathy come? You probably have guess the answer : society.
Uncared environment, autocratic rules and policy, hardness of economic, how we treated by them, that will build our character. Our apathy rate.

The question comes always the same. If i were one of the passerby in Wang Yue accident, will i help her? Easy to answer by words. But when the real situation comes, will we be the good Samaritan?
