"It is very tempting to take the side of the perpetrator. All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing. He appeals to the universal desire to see, hear, and speak no evil. The victim, on the contrary, asks the bystander to share the burden of pain. The victim demands action, engagement, and remembering."
I found this quote rather profound and worth pondering. just wanted to post it for that reason. (and yes i am a bit depressed...hopefully it'll pass soon..i rather feel like i'm on another galaxy lately..my apologies if i seem out in left field..posting here does help...man i want my mojo back)
