When it comes to your future and career and all that jazz the phrase, “Lookin’ out for number one” gets tossed around a lot and, with a few exceptions, rightfully so. You should be concerned primarily with your moves and actions and how those moves and actions will affect your financial future. However, when it comes to almost all other aspects of life, looking out for others and treating others the way you would like to be treated is a mantra that gets forgotten about all too often.

Hit and run accidents are a travesty that occur far too often and are a glaring example of humanity at its worst. There is absolutely no excuse to strike another human being with your automobile, intentional or not, and then drive off fearing your legal repercussions and assuming them greater than the life of another human.

Perhaps it is easier to deal with (forget about) hit and runs being a common occurrence by not having to witness them first hand. However, with the emergence of surveillance cameras at intersections, the horrors of the road have become ubiquitous in news broadcasts. Take this gem for example:

Count the number of cars that drive by that motionless body in the middle of a busy street during peak hour and then count the number of bystanders and gawk from a distance and try not to shake your head at humanity.

But hey, humanity ain’t all bad. I mean, there’s habitat for humanity and pro football players giving back to their communities and charity car washes for high school cheer leading teams.
