I recently came over a sociological experiment where a female was left by alone by the sidewalk while she was dressed properly. When most people noticed her, they took the time to stop and inquire about her parents’ whereabouts and whether she needed assistance. Now, the same girl was left standing in the same spot, her garments soiled and tattered.

Many individuals went past her, but none of them seemed to pay any attention. And those who did looked on with bitterness.

This is today’s depressing reality. It begs the question, “When did this world turn into a place where egotistical people only consider other people’s appearances?” Or, why is a rich person’s life more valuable than a poor person’s?

Fortunately, we encounter someone along the road who demonstrates that not everyone has lost the capacity to feel sympathy for those who are less fortunate, which gives us hope that all is not lost.
