It sounds to me like you see the problem I do. If it’s not the man’s responsibility, or the police officer’s, then who? There is absolutely no one placed in charge of this particular kind of saving. And the lack of concern everyone has for it is the appaling part. Most societies never implement one. And that means that a job of helping the people is only ever half done.[i] That[/i] is the part that gets me. Heroes don’t do it. Cops don’t do it. Not lawyers or politicians or volunteers.
*Shakes my head*
And why do they deserve the saving less than the people who actually are?

Many societies have public safety nets for those who have no ability to care for themselves. You also have charities and things like that. For us, stopping bad guys is often on a planetary or universal level, whereas people starving is on an individual level. You can also ruin societies by getting involved like that because you can push them off of an internal equilibrium. If you become the provider for everyone, then if you die, everybody starves. You'll also probably end up a dictator. Living creatures are naturally corrupt and evil and no amount of good any of us do will ever change that. So we do what good we can and let people who can do more do what they do best.
