would you watch?

The recent incident of the man who was struck by a car and others watched without helping him is sparking much discussion about our culture's willingness to help others.

We all want to believe we'd help someone in need. But do we do actually do it when the opportunity arises? Or do we hesitate? Do we watch? Are we afraid of making things worse? Are we waiting for someone else to do it?

1) What would you have liked done if that was you or your father or child?
2) What will you do this week to actively engage in helping someone else...in a little or big way?

Motto as of late: Don't just spectate. Participate.

Hearing about that incident made me want to cry! I heard this morning that he'll never go home again and never be able to breathe on his own :-( So Sad!!

1) Of course I'd want someone, anyone to help! I'd like to think that I would have if I'd been witness to this horrible thing (or any other for that matter).
2) Anything I can! Already offered to help a few friends both emotionally and w/physical stuff.
