Just the other day, an old women fell in the snow and froze to death. she suffered from Alzheimers disease and was dis oriented. She went missing some time in the early hours of the morning and wasn't found until about four or five hours later.
The trouble I am having is that this woman was seen having difficulty, by two different people and neither one offered assistance of any kind. They never even attempted to call the police. An investigation by the local law enforcement agencies showed that this women had been clawing at the door of a neighbour.
She died alone, and in the cold, all because people are afraid to get involved.
This women died a needless death. The reason for her death wasn't because she had an illness, it was because we as a society have become jaded and fear full. She died because we have become a cynical and hateful society. There are many that would have gladly put the crazy women clawing at the door on video and then up loaded that to youtube or facebook, rather then lend assistance.
I think this is a very sad state of affairs, and sad . testament to what society has become.
