what kind of sick society do we live in today??!!!!
b & i were at gardens yesterday having lunch when all of a sudden there was shouting. just as quickly, a crowd had gathered. since b had finished his meal, i sent him to check it out (i know, i'm quite a busybody too). apparently a little child (according to b, the child looked no more than 2 years old AND still sucking on his pacifier!) had his leg caught in the bottom of the escalator. the child was not even crying. my heart sank when i heard this. i could not finish my lunch. all i could do was start praying that the child would be alright. in fact, even as i'm writing this, it still bothers me, even though when we left i refused to be one of the "spectators" and hence I didn't see the child.
now, why did i call our society sick? apparently there were loads of people taking pictures AND videoing the whole thing as the child laid there! can you believe it?! it makes my blood boil! do these people think of the feelings and trauma this child and his parents are going through? this was NOT a game or sport! this was an emergency AND involving a child no less!
i guess it takes all kinds to make up a society huh? i really pray and hope that the child is fine.
