Yesterday's post reminded me of a show I recorded the other day 'Primetime: What Would You Do?' I cry every time I watch it. It's basically a hidden camera show where there are actors that portray the ugliest behaviors, racism, sexism, bullying, ageism, you name it. Then it catches people's reactions and how they step in to help, or ignore the situation.
Most of the time someone steps in and helps, this makes me so happy, so relieved that for the most part people care about each other. I know I have no problem saying exactly what I think needs to be said, when someone's behavior is totally inappropriate. Sometimes it isn't done with grace, but by George, sometimes something just needs to be said!
I guess sometimes it isn't "my place" or whatever, but I just know that if I was on the other end of some of the abuse going on out there, I would want someone to stand up for me, with me.
Maya Angelou said “If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.” I hope you too, can stand up and care for a stranger, a friend, or a loved one when the situation demands it. The rewards will overflow you cup.
