Human Nature is Unpredictable

 


Human Nature is Unpredictable


Agudengba and Chu Sanxing sat under a big tree by the Salween River and talked about the chaotic phenomenon of porcelain.

Agudengba shared his views on the chaos of porcelain: Speaking of Lei Feng, everyone in China knows it, but nowadays it is difficult for the media to find a "living Lei Feng" because Lei Feng is difficult to resurrect. However, overseas media people actually found a "live thunder feng" in California, the United States, and that was the Good Samaritan.

The story has to start with the "Porcelain Porcelain Case in California, USA":

In 2004, on Halloween night, a young woman named Alexandra crashed her car into a telephone pole on the side of the road. The car emitted thick smoke and was likely to explode. At this time, Alexandra Radka could not move in the car. Her colleague Lisa was in a car following her. Upon seeing this, she rushed to the rescue and pulled out Alexandra who was stuck in the car. Lisa said afterwards that the car had the potential to explode, so she desperately dragged Alexandra out of the car. Alexandra was paralyzed after a car accident and could only rely on a wheelchair, and her financial income was extremely limited.

In 2008, Alexandra sued Lisa, her colleague who dragged her out of the car, to court, claiming that Lisa used excessive force when pulling her out of the car, which caused her paralysis, so Lisa was responsible for her paralysis. . The California District Court did not accept the lawsuit, and Alexandra's lawyers took the case all the way to the California Supreme Court. On December 19, 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled 4:3 that the court could accept Alexandra's case against Lisa.

This ruling of the California Supreme Court caused an uproar in society and public opinion. The public's views are almost one-sided. People who do good deeds cannot be punished. Even good-hearted people make mistakes when helping others. At the same time, the California Assembly also responded. On June 25, 2009, the California Assembly passed the "Good Samaritan Exemption Ordinance" by a vote of 75:0. The bill came into effect on August 6, 2009. Faced with the new bill, Alexandra could only withdraw the accusation against Lisa.

Agudengba said to Chu Sanxing:

The cases of well-meaning people helping others in China and the United States are all morally about whether to care about others and lend a helping hand to the best of their ability. Like an old man falling to the ground, it is the most normal thing to give him a hand. But the focus of the dispute in the Chinese case is: the person who helped someone said that he was helping someone, while the person who fell said that she was knocked down by the helper. This became everyone's story, but judging from the facts, it should be It was a lie told by one party, and its nature expanded from the moral level to the legal level.

Agudengba told Chu Sanxing a story about a Chinese woman who helped others but was framed:

One night, Ms. Lei drove past the intersection of Line 5 in Tiantongyuan and saw an old man fallen on the roadside with lunch boxes scattered on the ground. After questioning, she found out that the old man was a little dizzy because he was drunk. Ms. Lei Immediately I felt that this old man was really in danger here, so I called the police. The police arrived about half an hour later. Before the police came, our kind Ms. Lei stayed with the old man and talked to him. Who knew that the police would When the police arrived, the old man told the police that Ms. Lei had hit him. Ms. Lei was so heartbroken that she had to go to the Tiantongyuan Traffic Police Team to take an alcohol test and give a thorough explanation before returning home.

Although the traffic police later investigated the old man's body and Ms. Lei's car, there were no signs of a collision. The traffic police staff said that it was not Ms. Lei who had hit the car. However, Ms. Lei still felt aggrieved, so she successively posted a request for help on Weibo. The witness’s Weibo has been forwarded many times by netizens, but so far it has not been found. Ms. Lei said that no witnesses have been found. "I really want to find witnesses who can stand up and clear my name."

Agudengba sighed: "The evildoers do not get bad rewards, but those who help others do not get good rewards. Obviously this is one of the reasons for the gradual disappearance of "Living Lei Feng".

He added to Chu Sanxing: However, in the American case, both parties acknowledged the fact that the injured person was pulled out of the car by the person being helped. The dispute was whether the help caused further injuries to the person being rescued due to negligence. Injury, ethics and responsibility all become questions of how the law is applied.

In order to protect the virtues and behaviors of good Samaritans who help others, and to prevent them from getting into trouble or being sued in court if they do good deeds, there is a law in the United States specifically designed to protect good Samaritans. This law is called "Good Samaritans" Samaritan Law.

Agudemba talked about the story of the Good Samaritan that the Good Samaritan Law originated from.

It turns out that a Good Samaritan refers to a kind-hearted, kind-hearted and helpful person who sympathizes with and helps those in need. This kind of good Samaritan refers to a person who has neither legal nor contractual obligations, but out of inner moral requirements, helps or rescues others free of charge. In today's terms, the Good Samaritan should be called "Living Lei Feng".

The "Good Samaritan Act" is a legal provision that exempts rescuers from liability when their free rescue actions cause some damage to the rescued person during an emergency. It is included in both federal and state laws in the United States. Some of the relevant legal provisions are called the "Good Samaritan Law" and some are called the "Free Rescuer Protection Law." The Good Samaritan Law generally provides immunity from liability for strangers' mistakes in providing emergency medical treatment to injured people, and does not require legal liability for the injuries caused. This situation must be at the scene of an emergency, and such assistance is free of charge. In principle, the Good Samaritan Law focuses on protecting medical personnel, police, and firefighters from having to bear civil liability for problems that arise during rescue operations during emergencies or accidents, unless the above-mentioned personnel are negligent. The rescue or rescue method is clumsy or deliberately delayed.

In the United States, if a person has not received special first aid training, in principle, even if he encounters a situation that requires first aid, he should not take action easily. Because if a person is not trained in first aid, there is no legal obligation to provide first aid to an injured person. However, some state laws stipulate that if a person does not call 911 when he discovers a stranger is injured, he may be guilty of a minor crime of negligence. The general rule is that if a person is injured and unconscious, strangers may administer first aid without the injured person's permission. If a person is injured but still conscious, strangers must obtain the injured person's permission before helping. In some states in the United States, if a stranger carelessly causes the injured person's injury to worsen when rescuing an injured or sick person, it may still be considered a minor crime of negligence.

Therefore, even if there is a "Good Samaritan Law" in the United States, people still need to pay attention when helping others under special circumstances. They should not think that helping others with good intentions will not incur civil liability. When a person helps an injured stranger, the "Good Samaritan Law" has its own strict legal provisions. When a good Samaritan rescues an injured person, he legally has a need for the person being rescued. Duty to rescue reasonably and with care.

Agudengba said: As for the old man who fell and strangers want to help the old man stand up, in order to avoid such things as "touching porcelain", it is best to ask the other person if he needs help before helping. If the other person says no, it is best to ask him if he needs help. It's best not to do anything. If you want to help the elderly, it is best to have witnesses nearby. The most critical point here is that people cannot be without kindness, but they must also learn to protect themselves. As for cases like those in China where people insist on different opinions, the most convincing thing is probably to find witnesses at the scene or see whether there are images captured by surveillance cameras. If there are none, then the question may only be answered by the conscience of the person concerned. For those who "touch porcelain", society should condemn this evil behavior and deal with it seriously in accordance with the law.

"Evil will be rewarded with evil, and good will be rewarded with good." But out of good intentions, you accidentally rescued a troubled person, but what awaits you is bad luck. This chaotic world is changing the good and evil of human nature.

Agudengba sang a song "Human Nature is Unpredictable":

 

Is human nature good or evil?

The dispute has been inconclusive for thousands of years.

Just because human nature is unpredictable,

People's hearts are always separated from the belly.

 

Who decides the merits and demerits?

Everything is decided by the monarch.

The tyrant decides everything with one word,

Advice that is offensive to the ears will not be listened to at all.

 

The world belongs to the emperor's family,

The powerful and treacherous ministers are stewards.

Hundreds of millions of people are married into slaves,

Silence and no thoughts.

 

The villain is trying to make a small profit,

The porcelain king seeks hegemony,

Attacking cities and plundering territories to create excuses,

Pengci has become internationalized.

 

The transformation of human nature is not what it is today;

It has been the norm since ancient times,

Read all the vicissitudes of human history,

The deception and abduction are endless.

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
