a traveller was robbed, beaten up and left for dead on the side of the road. a couple of people passed by the injured traveller but didn't stop to help.
finally a Samaritan came along and helped the traveller. this Bible story of the good Samaritan is often repeated to emphasize the importance of helping others.
in 1973, an experiment on behavior was conducted on a group of university students. these students, who were studying theology, were told to quickly rush to another building to give a talk on the story of the good Samaritan.
on the way to the second building, the experimenters placed an actor who pretended to be injured and in pain. did any of the students stopped to help?
the answer - only 10% of the students stopped to help the "injured" actor. and these students were on the way to give a talk on the good Samaritan.
mountaineers climb because they want to reach the summit. when the desire to climb becomes too intense, mountaineers become obsessed and are overcome by summit fever - they want to reach the peak at any cost. don't rush. #bcc
