Lose compassion, or never have it in the first place? I walk by people every day to/from work who are homeless, penniless, and hungry. My apathy rears its head every time. Same thing as Everest, just a different scale.bryan said:but how do people lose all compassion for another human life?
I totally agree with this statement. There were more than 40 people in that group. To hell with all of them. I don't care if they paid $75,000... that doesn't qualify you to leave someone there to die so that you can go up and touch a summit. The legless jerk is getting the blunt of the criticism because people are going around celebrating his feat, meanwhile he's a heartless murderer as it turns out. Too bad he didn't bite it in New Zealand in that cave -- I bet people had to risk their lives rescuing his sorry butt.kmac said:I'm sorry I just don't get the disregard for human life, at any cost. I can't imagine passing someone in obvious distress and leaving them there to die. And I don't think I am being judgemental when I say that. There were several people on that mountain the day Inglis was cliimbing, and not one person had the decency to fight for that man's life. Sometimes all it takes is the strength of one person to stand up for someone and others will follow.
