Doing nothing.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Theodore Roosevelt

                                                 

So many people do nothing. The older I get, the more this bothers me. I am tired of people who play both sides, ride the fence, turn their heads, refuse to speak up. I feel that the people who watch wrong and do nothing are just as guilty as the person doing the wrong. There is a show on TV called  "What would you do?" I see so many people every day letting the bully get their way. They walk away. Act like it is not their problem. I admit that standing up for yourself or others is never easy, but believe me it feels much better than being a coward. How many things could have been prevented? How many things could have been made better? How many people could have been helped? How many people could have been saved, if just one person would have done the right thing? No not the easy thing, but the right thing.  The easy thing is doing nothing, but that is also the worst thing you can do. Don't walk away, don't ride the fence, don't play both sides, have some courage and do the right thing.
