DESCRIPTION:
Good Samaritan Day, named after the parable of the good Samaritan from the New Testament of the Bible, (Luke 10:25-37), promotes universal respect, empathy the importance of being a good and selfless person by acting rather than remaining passive in the face of need.
March's Good Samaritan Day was declared in 1964 in New York City after Catherine "Kitty" Genovese was viciously stabbed and murdered before witnesses on the streets of the city.
Why does a murder of a single woman deserve a day of remembrance? At the senseless crime scene, nearly 40 people witnessed it and allegedly stood by and watched as Catherine screamed for help and then died. Not one of the bystanders intervened.
The second Good Samaritan Day occurs in October.
The New York murder of Catherine Genovese was forgotten over the years until the same thing happened again on Foshan Market Street in Guangdong, China. A young girl named Wang Yue was run over by two vehicles on October 13, 2011. Dozens of people gathered on the sidewalk, watching the cars plow over the young girl and doing nothing to save her until an older woman named Chen Xianmei rushed to her aid. It was too late. Crushed under the weight of the vehicles, Wang Yue died.
October's Good Samaritan Day was created by Richard Lutz, appalled by the indifference of the onlookers, as a tribute to Yue's life. It falls on the anniversary of her deadly attack.
With today's propensity to get images that will trend on social media rather than societal engagement, Good Samaritan Day and the two women killed behind each remind us to be present in this world, assist when possible, and reject becoming a passive, dispassionately callous assemblage of malignant apathy.
