Most of us contribute to destructive behavior and practices through one (non) activity - turning a blind eye. Everyday I learn about more atrocities going on in the world, many of which are simply too far removed for me to have any influence on the circumstance but there are also many things going on very close to home (so to speak) that are quite appalling. It has forced me to recognize that when I learn about something that concerns me and I could have done something (anything, even indirectly) - choosing not to only allows the practice or behavior to grow and continue.
Some of the information I have come across recently is so disturbing, I simply can't keep myself from learning more and doing whatever I can. There are so many atrocities going on right here in our country that if left unchecked will cause it to become worse, not better. Time to lose our distractions, pick an area to make a difference and go for it. Time is a wastin' when we turn a blind eye.
