Hello uncle? I am hoping you are well. Please pass my greetings my greetings to my lovely cousins. I am also doing great here in school.
A few days ago, I witnessed an accident which left me thinking alot about our current times. I was walking along the street while an elegant black mercedes benz zoomed passed me. A few metres from where I was were a group of local business men. The car was at a relatively high speed and it swept two of them before they could escape.
To my suprise,the car did not stop nor did we see the brake lights. The car accelerated passed the street onto another untill it was fully out of sight. I wondered how somebody could have the guts to hit someone half to death or to death and run away.
From the two people who were hit by the car, one died on the spot while the other suffered fatal injuries. Being a member of redcross, I rushed there and called an emergency number. To my suprise,the bystanders whom I though should be very concerned,did not want even to be involved in the matter. Even the local business people seemed reluctant to help their ailing colleague.
Personally I felt very bad though I had to keep myself together for I was the only hope of survival for the injured man. When the ambulance arrived, all the people gathered around to have a look. This was so sacarstic for they want to see the mess yet they cannot fix the mess. I wondered how we have hypocrites and mediocres in this would.
We have forgotten our guidelines as human. We have become so merciless. So self centered and selfish. We have become too pride to show compassion. Many people have forgotten that we are humans and thats what sticks us together unlike animals. We should not help out of love nor should we help because we know a certain person or not. We should be kind and merciful because it is our duty to do so as humans.
This incident made me realize how inhumane we have become. It made me so sorrowful that I thought I should share it with you.
Hope this letter finds you in good health. I am very shocked with the ignorant behavior of the bystanders who just want to offer any help or escort the victim.
If they do not want to involve in police enquiry, I seriously think that the bystanders can make a call to ambulance - which is the least help they can offer to a stranger who has met with an unfortunate accident.
We must create awareness amongst the nationals to offer help to the needy
