Evil to triumph for good people to do nothing
"All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." As generations go by our society and countries are taking the easy path. One may be a good person, but they postpone and end up doing nothing. Allowing our country to slowly turn into a passive nation full of people who are waiting for things to happen but not taking initiative. High/Middle school becomes a scary place for many students, this is because of the bullies that take over the poor innocent kids life. Worst part is no one is doing anything about this over-whelming issue. Many kids are bystanders looking a kids shoving over other kids into lockers, making fun of them, and making them feel that there is no point in living. One issue that happened recently is in china, two year old girl got run over my car, and was lying there bloody and helpless, 18 people passed by, many cars drove by, none did ANYTHING. finally a stranger ran up and helped the little girl, after getting ran over twice, she later died in hospital. How could our world become such a horrible place to live in. No one seems to be taking action, and this issue seems to be getting worse. There are many examples of this is taking place. for the world to take evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

it's good that you interpreted the quote for a smaller scale spectrum. School bullying is a major issue that has been going on for years and years. It is also interesting how you related this quote on the worldly level. It is truly sick and disgusting that this even happened, and I think the rest of the world shared our shock.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this event happening but I'm am glad you included it. Even by writing about this in your blog you are helping by raising awareness. I really liked how you not only explained your view on this quote but also provided an example to share how truly devastating it is. Great post!
ReplyDeleteIt literally makes me sick just thinking about what happened to that poor girl, I remember hearing about it on the news. It is the perfect example to prove the quote though. All those people who did nothing - though they did not run over her them selves - could conceivably be just as responsible for her death.
ReplyDeleteGreat example with school bullying, it's so true that many kids grow up to be bystanders because of how they were when they were younger. Many kids are too scared to stand up in fear that they will be the next victim or because they may not look "cool" if they speak out and say something. I heard about that poor girl in China, I even saw the horrific video... It's terrible to think nobody once stopped to help that innocent child.
