I think I saw a woman break her neck today. She was riding her bike, but fell for some reason and landed on a traffic sign. She couldn't move her arms or her legs and she was in a great deal of pain. Luckily a doctor arrived a minute after I had gone over to take care of her, so all I had to do was call an ambulance.

You're such a liar Seven.
Well, I'm not going to sit here and say that I can prove it, because I can't, but it did happen. It was pretty awkward. And it made me realise that people are far more caring than you would suspect. Within a minute four persons had gathered around her and they all did their best to help.

If she had been wearing a hijab would you have gone over to her?
She wasn't wearing a hijab, but she was Moroccan. And I've asked myself that question and I've come to the conclusion that, of course, I would have. The thing is that over here in the civilised west where we have no slaves we are conditioned to help everyone. I agree with that opinion, but I think we have reached a point where I don't really make a choice anymore. Ever since kindergarten people tell you to help everyone, so you do.
