Linda Hamilton - what would you do?

This is a must-see video on Youtube, especially for anyone who lives in a big 'uncaring' city.

Living in London, you see selfishness and inconsideration (rush hour in the underground and getting onto buses) everywhere and its something which often shocks a lot of newcomers here. The problem seems to be the sheer number of people crammed into small spaces and a culture which is wary of strangers, so much so that even I am guilty of walking around oblivious to the things going on around me. For example, it was my South African bf who pointed out the many crackheads that walk by - something I'd never 'seen' before. Maybe it is some kind of unconscious coping mechanism, because its so easy to reason things in our minds to make ourselves feel better.

Regardless of how a person looks or is dressed, they may still be in need of help...and really who are we to judge who is deserving and who isn't? I will admit to walking back from a night out years ago and often seeing a guy lying on the floor at a bus stop reeking of alcohol and a beer can or bottle close by. Whilst I still wouldn't have approached the guy at the age of 17 at 2am on my own not exactly dressed in jeans and trainers, I probably should have called for help. This video really was a reality check and if this blog gets a few more people to watch it then all the better.
