Sad_Face 01/30/18 11:45:57 PM #36:	ShinigamiSoul Post #7 Despite that, Im still not going to say anything. I hope to God that it's somehow not true or that if it is, she's brought to justice but I can't let this out to them. I can live with beating myself up over this but I don't know what I'll be capable of should I have to deal with what everyone else would undoubtedly have to say to me were my story revealed now." I don't have any stories that are anywhere close to what you've been through, but I know how difficult it is to speak up. One of my friend's father got drunk and assaulted her, so she left his house to live with a relative. She told my best friend who's closer to her, who subsequently told me. I remarked saying that it's a sad situation, that none of us spoke up and contacted the police. My friend remarked if he had been there he would have called the police. I didn't say anything then, but I felt he missed the point of what I was saying. You know someone has been wronged, and yet you don't do anything. He knows this happened and he could have still reported it. But I feel there's no real right or wrong here, since neither him or I would have to live with the consequences of getting him locked up. We're not involved in their lives like that so it would in no way affect us. For the friend, I'd imagine it'd be a far heavier decision because of the things you mentioned. And it reminds me a lot of how you always see the common traits of heroes and shonen characters where they immediately stand up for what's wrong and take action on command. It's done to death in every action show, so we take it for granted just how important, rare, and valuable having that trait is; being able to go against the tide to for what's right. That's what separates heroes from spectators, us normal folk who would succumb to the bystander effect and just watch as things unfold for the worse, not knowing what to do or if we should do something. Just felt like rambling, I hope this at least doesn't hurt to read. --- imgtc.com/i/4HgTl0ebzq.jpg imgtc.com/i/60CWP2Gtlg.gif <cite>Sad_Face posted [p:895152107] in CE Confess...
