Just first glance, most people judge the personality and living environment of the strangers. It’s common, but it’s sometimes sad. One Youtube video shows an interesting scenario.
There was a cute little 6year old girl wearing a clean dress standing on the street alone. Many adults worried and asked her if she was lost. In another version, the same girl was wearing a dirty T-shirt and pants and stood on the same street. However, this time nobody cared about her. The director hatched some ideas and recorded several situations of a similar pattern.
I couldn’t stop watching this short video. If I were in the same situation while I was commuting against the clock in Tokyo, what I do? Maybe I wouldn’t help a girl …If the girl has a deep gash on her legs or arms, I might help. I realized I’m egoistic. “at one’s own risk”, this word is unconsciously spread especially in Japan. The positive side urges people who try with more effort. The negative side creates a critical mood of people who fail. It brings egoism and rigidity. Lack of generosity to others is one of the deep problems in Japan. I disagree that indifference is another name for tolerance.

Maybe I don’t help a girl …If the girl has a deep (3)gash her legs or arms, I might help. I realized how I’m egoistic. “A self-responsibility”, this word is unconsciously spread especially in Japan. The positive side creates the people who try to more effort. The negative side creates the critical mood to failed people. It brings egoistic and restrictiveness. Lack of generosity to others is one of the deep problems in Japan. I disagree that indifference is another name for tolerance.
