AHmaad and Allen you're both right about family, but I thought that was a given and I was leaning more towards strangers. I know I should've made that a little clearer, but anyways what I meant was are we as people forced to help our fellow man when they are in distress or is ok to do nothing.

If someone is stuck in the side of the highway, will you stop and assist? or would it be more wise to move on so it doesn't become an inconvenience.

Having the power to help someone and choosing not to.
