I BELIEVE I DID GOOD THE OTHER DAY…..
I SAW A SITUATION AND JUMPED TO ACTION WITH ALL THE BEST INTENTIONS.
I DID NOT THINK ABOUT MYSELF OR THE DANGER I PUT MYSELF IN.
Walking out from an outdoor concert venue, I witnessed a man verbally abusing his significant other while she was curled up on the grass crying. I told my friends and we went over and told him to knock it off. He stopped and pulled her up and they walked out as we followed. He started up again and I told him, “You are abusing her and need to stop.” People started cheering behind me. Then my sister pulled me away in fear that I would get hurt.
This was so emotionally disturbing to me that I found myself crying for her pain. I reached out to a couple friends and they told me I did the right thing. The standard we walk by is the standard we accept. It was surprising to me how many people walked by without a second thought.
I pray that the woman finds the strength to leave this situation.
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?
