Your life isn't even worth an inconvenience

I was standing in line for tea in office when someone came ranting "You won't believe what a bad morning I've had today...." to another person.

I was hoping I could get out before listening to rest of it but she kept ranting about how they shut down the metro because someone attempted suicide at Kengeri metro station today. The whole rant was about it being such an inconvenience to her and thousands of people, not even a single flicker of empathy for the person who had to take such a step.

Mind you this is a "FAANG" office where even most interns get 1.5 LPM, so a cab's expense would be trivial for them. I don't believe they are a bad person for prioritizing their convenience over someone's life, but I guess we're all victims of the systematic erosion of empathy that the government is making us go through - central AND state, this is not about political affiliations.
