It is Saturday. First working day of the week here, and from early in the morning in the office everybody talked about the incident happened in Tehran last Thursday. More or less I got the story. But when I came in my room, a print on my desk from asriran.com explained almost everything. Two young men had a quarrel in Kaj sq. in Sadatabad district; one stabbed the other one with a knife and in a strange act tried to keep people away from the injured man letting him die.
Sickening is, according to the news there were two police men watching the event indifferently and passers by too were mostly capturing the scenes on their mobile phones rather helping the wounded man. It took 45 minutes before the man be taken to a near by hospital where he died. This makes the incident even more tragic when the hospital staff announced they could keep him alive if he had been taken to the hospital 10 minutes earlier.
I do not real know what to call this. Is this the product of 3000 years history of Persian civilization? Or could this be regarded as achievements of 14 centuries of Islamic culture here in Iran? Or this can be counted as an endeavor of the fresh breeze of Islamic revolutions? What so ever, I can't forget this terrible event not because I am involved with some humanitarian emotions, but because the next time this may be me or a member of my family needing help, hopelessly.

This is a social indiffrence,things happens in some socities which the sense of gathering, dialogue and solidarity has been broken off,either politically or socially.Becouse seperated people are likely more easilly to be govrned and dominated.Hanah Arendt has some great ideas about this.
