You’d think that centuries after Jesus gave us the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’d see more compassion for the man left on the side of the road. Unfortunately, this video indicates we haven’t come as far as we’d have hoped. Watch it. You may be surprised to see the people who kept on walking… and the person who stayed to help.
 
this made me cry, it’s so telling…the love we have for each other can be so vain…i never want to pass up an opportunity to help someone, Jesus is in everyone, even the sick and homeless, and lets not forget the elderly, who sit alone in nursing homes just waiting to die…we need to help and visit these people…it’s the best thing we can do with our lives, our charity towards others will be our greatest accomplishment when we die…and if we cant help people physically for some reason, we can still pray, which is just as important, and just as effective.
 
Sorry for being such a cynic, but I wonder how the producers justified their stunt to the real 911 operators. Isn’t it illegal to make false claims to emergency dispatchers resulting in stiff fines and possible jail time? I guess it’s OK as long as it’s for a good cause. Arrgh, there’s always that air of condescension on the part of these investigative reporters that turns me off.

Again, sorry about the OT rant.
 
that is so sad 😦

I want to be more like the Good Samaritan…

I agree! 🙂 all things fade, only what we did for love of God remains.
