In our excitement to get likes and shares on social media, we tend to forget basic human courtesy when someone needs help. In most cases, this lack of empathy has resulted in tragic consequences, such like the case of a road accident in Ludhiana on January 6.

Everyone at the site were clicking pictures and making videos and posting on social media, but not a single person came to their help. Our lives are being governed by social media.
