I guess it is easy to say I would stop and help, but the truth is, as you said, it depends on the situation, the country, and the risks involved. In some places /countries, stepping in can mean legal trouble, false accusations, or getting stuck in bureaucracy. That doesn’t make someone a bad person, it means they are trying to protect themselves, too. I would assess the situation first. If someone needs urgent help and it's safe to do so, I will try and do what I can, at the very least call emergency services. But I understand why others might walk away. It’s not always about not caring, it’s about survival, fear, or past trauma. We shouldn't judge too quickly. 🤔

@PEARLW If you leave someone to die, then you deserve your past trauma. 💀

@Saage it's not easy to walk away too but sometimes self preservation overpowers you

@romell That's called being a bad person lol.

- **Proverbs 31:8–9**
*"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."*

James 4:17 states, "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin"

**Isaiah 1:17**
*"Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow."*
@Saage Some laws don’t encourage "Good Samaritans", unfortunately. If It’s a medical situation, I know I’m not trained to assist. But I will call emergency services to come and help the person. That I can do, and I have done it in times past.

@bijouxbroussard True. That's why people from some countries are so much more hated than people from other countries. All the reasoning in the world doesn't turn a bad person into a good person, the reason just explain why they are bad.
