I’m so sorry your neighbour experienced this, that is quite awful, for people to be indifferent to his injury.

I really don’t know the answer to this, it’s a big topic to be sure. I think you’re possibly right generally speaking.

I did have one experience last year - an elderly man took an awful fall in the street and cut his head, his young care assistant was with him and had phoned an ambulance (this man was very frail) I asked if they were okay and she said yes but my gut told me to stay with them. So I sat and physically propped him (he couldn’t stand) and kept chatting- I had my picnic rug with me so I covered him and kept him warm. In that time I lost count of how many people stopped to ask if they could help. The security guards from the shopping centre came and got him a wheelchair and did first aid and these big tough guys were so gentle with him. He was the sweetest gentleman and we had the nicest chat, it was his first time out since lockdown so he’d been lonely.

I’m no saint but I do think “That might be my dad/or me one day” it’s how I was raised I think. Maybe that’s it? Parenting? Example? I don’t know.
