Responsibility

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. - Abraham Lincoln


5 more days to the start of O-Levels. That's just great. I don't even feel prepared yet. Yet instead of revising, I'm actually writing another post. I think that this is gonna be my second or third last post until the end of O-Levels, unless there're certain incidents that may happen during this period. Seriously, I can't wait for the O-Levels to end. It's like 25 days away. It's so close yet so far... Feels like I can grasp it already but there's a huge obstacle standing in my way...


Anyway, if you guys did watch the news (I don't know whether it's broadcasted to other countries), you should probably know about what happened in China. A young girl got ran over by a van. And you know what? That driver totally ignored her. He just drove off. After the incident, as the girl is left lying there, at least 18 people walked past her and didn't help her. They just plainly walked off, ignoring her. I mean, how could you just walk off when you see a young child lying on the road, bleeding profusely and who obviously needed help?? They didn't care although they noticed her. A woman even picked the girl up and tossed her to the side of the road like trash. To add on, another truck came later and ran over her as well. Nobody came forward and tried to help. Calling an ambulance, getting her out of there... Practically, the girl is left for dead until a rubbish collector discovered her and shouted for help which several shopkeepers ignored her. He then finally tracked down the girl's mother who then rushed her to the hospital. I think the words are "Cruel and Unfeeling". Wait, that's an understatement. It's inhumane. These people... I wonder how can they sleep at night without feeling any guilt and remorse. 
News just reported that the girl is alive and but not out of danger. Her parents are really sad and depressed that this horrible incident happened and they are really worried for their daughter's life. Also, the driver did not want to be imprisoned so he continue to escape from the police. Who wants to be imprisoned? But you have just ran over a little girl and drove off. You did not stop immediately and call an ambulance. It's a hit-and-run! It's just plain sick. That driver just shrank from his responsibility, so did those who ignored the girl.
