Big cities breed apathy like nowhere else on Earth, and the longer someone lives in a major city alongside millions of people the more cancerous things they're exposed to.
Here's an example of big city apathy in action- a woman walking down the sidewalk with a slice of pizza witnessed a car hit a pedestrian about ten feet away from her...then walked off eating her pizza, seemingly unfazed by what she's just seen.
The woman's strange reaction was captured on video by a security camera, seemingly unmoved by the fact that she was only a few feet away from being hit by the car herself. That must be some mighty tasty pizza!

We don't have to pull bodies from cars and reattach body parts to be helpful. :-/
Yes, yes, it does sound callous. I am reminded of the Kitty Genovese case in New York. I am only human.
