This morning, as I headed towards the subway, I saw a young guy walk up behind another young guy, trip him up on purpose, making him fall to the ground. He subsequently started insulting him and pushing him agressively. The other guy was clearly surprised, they probably didn't even know eachother. What shocked me the most: the contrast of the innocent surprise of the attackee, who didn't even fight back, with the pure and intense viciousness on the face of the attacker. People are capable of such low acts, it's depressing when you think about it.

And then there were all the passersby, not doing anything, including myself. How easy it is to stand by idly or to look the other way...

On the plus side today: beatiful nude breasts on display again from the neighbor's window...

I saw a news report out of China fairly recently. A little girl was hit by a car and clearly injured yet people just kept walking by her. She died :( I guess people just assume that "Someone else" can help. But, when everyone thinks that, nothing gets done!
