Hell, a hundred people walking by a homeless guy don't give a fuck if he lives or dies.

Humans are on the same level as any other bunch of atoms to nature.




I think it is more complex than that. People can 100% care about the person in the street while still choosing not to help. They might believe that the person is insane and can’t be helped, they might believe that helping encourages the person to not self-help, or they simply prefer to spend their time/energy on people they love instead of strangers.
