advocator of good

when somebody litters as if they own the road...
when an old lady is being bullied by an unreasonable customer...
when a suspicious bag is spotted outside a bank...

what do you do?

i get really disturbed by the bystander effect.
and what they call the diffusion of responsibility, is scary.
for how can it be that, as the number of people (or passerbys) increases, the chance of someone in need receiving help, decreases instead.

what happens here is that when people spot someone in distress, they tend to 2 rules...
first is the rule to help someone in need.
second is the rule to conform to what other people are doing.
unfortunately, in most cases the second rule overrides the first one.
therefore as everyone passes by somebody lying motionless in the middle of the street, nobody stops to help the poor fellow just because no one else is either.

so, it's fucking time to stand up to all this nonsense.

when something isn't right, set it right.
when somebody needs help, offer a hand.
when somebody is being bullied, stand up for him/her.

it's time to advocate good, albeit in a fucked up way.
but that's totally acceptable, 'cause it's what the scumbags deserve.

haha on a totally different note i'm quite grateful that i passed by 2A lesson 1 today.

i knocked down the slalom cone twice, and went off course in the middle of the practical.
but in the end, still one of the 3/9 riders who passed.

hope good luck today doesn't mean bad luck tomorrow.

well life is like a shadow
it never stays in one place
hell i'm standing here anyways
however long it takes to steal your heart


i'm gonna' steal your heart away
