Kindness from everybody who’d encountered this accident, even the bystanders, stepped up, and helped this woman out, so, the diffusion of responsibility, the bystander effect, did NOT apply here! Translated…
On the news, there were, always those, kind Samaritans who’d, lent a helping hand at the scenes of the crash, someone to hold out an umbrella, to help block out the sun, someone who’d, directed the traffic, taking care of the injured, and they’d not left quietly, until the ambulances arrived and lifted the injured away.
At the bottom of May, I also, felt this sort of a warmth from someone unknown. On that day, as I had a run-in with a motorcycle on the bridge connecting Kaohsiung and Pingdong, I’d felt, that my car swerved so many times, and as I came to, my car was, stuck, between the divide and the slow lanes, and, the blood from my open wound flowed out onto my face, it’d, scared me so much I’d started, trembling nonstop, couldn’t move. I just recalled that a girl handed me a ton of tissues, to help stop the bleeding, and another man, used his coat, and separated my arm from the tarp roads, and I’d heard someone called the emergency services, and helped taken the photos of the accident, and the noises all around, from helping to direct the traffic flow.
Not long thereafter, I’d heard the sirens from the ambulance, and the paramedics told me I was, severely injured, that I’d needed to get rushed to the hospital immediately, and, someone kind had, helped me called my son, and, in the chaos, I was, lifted, to the E.R. of the hospital.
After a few days’ stay at the hospital, I’d, returned home, and gone to the nearby hospital to get my wounds dressed up again, as I waited to be seen by the physician, an EMT asked me, “Are you the person that got hit on the Kaohsiung-Pingdong Connecting bridge………” “Yes, so it was you guys, who’d, saved my life, I’m truly, grateful to you guys!”, I’d, taken that pair of young hands in my, and thanked the young man continuously.
After this accident that I had, I’d gotten the confirmation, that the most beautiful scene in Taiwan, is its people, I’m grateful to all who’d, helped me out.
And so, this, is on helping behavior, because there’s this, emergency, and this time, there’s, NO diffusion of responsibility that occurred, because everybody who was there, took it upon her/himself, to help this woman out. This, is something wonderful that’s happened, not the woman’s injuries, but how strangers, helped her out.
