A Different Perspective

Now, I agree with most of the things that have been posted: Sykes got what he deserved and Delia was in the right not to help him out at the end, or to be indifferent about it, but....like Daniel mentioned during class; haven't we been discussing what we do or do not do in occurrence of human suffering? Sykes was an AWFUL man indeed, but imagine this, you see the person you ABSOLUTELY detest, maybe this person shot your dog and laughed, walking a few feet ahead of you in the crosswalk just after they tripped you. BAM! He or she gets hit by a car right in front of you, but you're safe. What do you do? You know a few first aid tricks-unless you're Courtney who knows them all-but this person is severely injured, bleeding heavily and it's pretty obvious that they are not going to live much longer. They call YOUR name out, asking you for assistance. How can you not feel enough pity to eagerly assist in their last request for comfort? Even though it may seem unfair to serve him or her after the way you were treated, someday justice will be served, don't force justice to be served when it's not your authority to do so. Just a thought.
