my bad

Around 50 years ago as I was driving on a street near my residence, I  stopped at a red light. Off to my right, catty-corner to me, there were two guys at a BP gas station rolling on the ground.  I tried to figure out what I might be seeing. Two thoughts came to my mind. One, it was a couple of guys probably playing around.  Two, there was a real fight going on, and one of the two men was probably an attendant.  The light turned green. I started to move forward, not knowing what I was going to do. Suddenly, a car on my left shot crossed in front of me and went onto the station grounds. I continued straight, leaving whatever was happening to play out without my help.  I did not find out what happened. Actually, I forgot about the happening.  But, periodically, my mind would replay that incident. It bothered me that I did nothing. That night affected my reaction to other people's situations.  More to follow.
