This made me depressed. Seriously. [Warning: Graphic]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03xkYC8Y4bg

My mum cried when she saw this on tv while we were both eating. I was just forcing my own tears back, to not spoil the nice food and add to my mum's despair. I was just writing a song about human apathy, and now i have even more motivation to write.

This shows why i am cynical to humankind.

    Have you read the account of the good Samaritan? It's been happening since the beginning of man. 

    To most people (I would hope) it is incomprehensible to pass someone by on the street that is down and obviously needs help. Especially a child. 

    The original van.... the driver didn't even stop to pull the child off the road.... but pulls forward over the child with their rear tires... it's one thing to accidentally hit and run over someone..... and something entirely different to intentionally do it a second time.

    Even for the most hopelessly cynical of us, it always hurts. No matter how little I expect from people, there's always a new low.

    Looking at that video, it strikes me that the ones who care are not the silent majority - it's the good hearted, benevolent people which are the exceptions. I've come to that conclusion a long time ago - yet, I still hate it just as much whenever I'm confronted to its reality. 

    And the paradox is that, people who despise mankind as a whole, unless mentally deranged, are often the ones that are among the most inclined to treat others with respect, as individuals. 

    I know that for me, people are presumed guilty unless proven innocent. BUT, in reality, I try to treat each and everyone of them as if it were the opposite. In other words, conceptually, mankind as a whole can go to heck, but in reality, I'll never let you down if you fall anywhere in sight.

    The strangest part is that many of the people who call me radical in my opinions and insist on telling me that I shouldn't be so hard on mankind are also much more "relaxed" when it comes to adopting behaviors which would show consideration for their fellow men. As if their optimistic philosophy really was just a convenient alibi for their carelessness, dare i say laziness. 

    I don't know. I don't have a religion, I'm convinced of the subjectivity of what we call moral and yet, for some reason, I can't help but try to do good (even when I am questioning the concept of good itself). Maybe because the people like the ones in that video make it obvious that the world doesn't revolve around me. How I'd like to share that feeling with some of them...

    This is sad and just disgusting.... I can't believe the kid was hit, no less then  to finish running him over, then anyone of those piece of Sh_t people could have helped him but left him to be run over a third time....
    If I was the father I would be tracking down and running over everyone of the pathetic waste of life people in that video.
