Solidarity?

Yesterday after work I had to hurry to the city
center in order to get to the post office before
it closed. I was picking up a parcel that had
been laying there too long, and I had to give
feedback about the contents as soon as possible.
A bit stressed I rode my bike as fast as I
could.
When I got to the overpass by the train station
I suddenly saw a person laying stangely in the
middel of the sidewalk. There was no one else
there and there are huge barriers on both sides.
"What the hell is this?" I thought. Getting
closer I saw that it was one of the homeless
people that hang around the train station. I
slowed down when I passed him, but just
continued. "he is probably just sleeping and I
havent got time to stop." I said to my self..
And I drove on.
When I got to the post office I started thinking
"what if he wasn't sleeping? What if he had
taken an overdose or were seriously ill?". I got
a bit stressed and my conscience felt really
bad.
Then after standing in a long que and getting my
parcel I decided to cancel my other errands and
ride back to the see if he was alright.
When I got there I found him sitting on a bench.
Didn't do anything more. Went home. Went to
squash.
Guess I'm not as solidary as I like to be. I
think I didn't stop the first time is because I
didn't want to care and was probably afraid of
what diseases I might catch. Don't know what
other reasons there was as the instinct
automaticly said no. I don't think "I have to
hurry cause I need to give feedback and squash
starts in one hour" is a good reason.
What if he was really ill? What if he was dead?
I didn't know and I just drove on.

Argh, is this my post divorce conscience going
to new fields?

I am a bad person.

Who isn't?

well thankfully he's alright...-once my roommate tried to help an ol' lady-she looked very confused and unsure to cross the street, so he approached her and asked nicely if he could help her...(chuckles.)
she screamed "get the f-off me you bastard!" and tried to hit him with her grocery. HAHAHAHAH!
another time, a bum dude asked for money from me...i've been slaving away at my work trying to make end meets...and i din't have any money with me at the moment...i told him i was sorry but....he got awfully pissed at me and started cussing me out to kingdom come..i got pissed back and told him to get a freakin job...we went off on each other like this for ten minutes in the middle of town as everyone watched in horror and giving me the dirtiest looks. hahahaha! sometimes, the outcome is so unperdictable....
 
Hahaha! You really have some bad mouthed old ladys over there! :-O
Argh, yeah, beggers can be a real pain sometimes... Once I eventually gave away all my cigarettes to two bums in oslo. Hadn't any money to buy new :-p Haha, I probably decerved it. But I never fought one. Well done! :-D I think you might have a big advantage in our scheduled to come fight cause of all your fighting experience ;-)
