So today I learned that I am a totally Heartless Asshole...well at least in one particular area of life. I came to this realization today after I was leaving a family get together. I had to leave early because I had to get to work, so I got in my car and started my drive home, the drive home is about 10 mins. I was driving though this particularly curvy downhill road, and like always my inner Jeff Gordon kicks in and I haul ass down it. I slowed down to see a dog that looked like it was gonna run across the street in front of me, but I noticed its kinda trying to get up but it can't. I realized that it was hit by a car and in obvious pain and struggle as I slowed down to get a closer look, I start thinking to myself, "I need to stop and help this suffering animal!" But what do I do?! Yep, you guessed it, I just speed up and take off. I glanced at my rear view window and I see this dog desperately and painfully trying to get up, I see it lay its head down with despair, as if it had given up on life. I keep reassuring myself that I did the right thing, wtf would I have done if I had stopped? I surely couldn't be late for work! Anyways that was the epiphany I had today.
