So much of this boils down to fear. I was bullied as a very young child. At home, at school, neighborhood. Until my anger grew great enough I fought back. Studying fighting, lifting weights. But instead of becoming a bully, I began intervening for what I felt was pure hearted kids. This carried on well into my adulthood.

The last time I had to intervene was about 20 years ago. Two old men were arguing at the swap meet and one of the men had his two very large sons with him. They were in the next aisle from me, but could see them as the space behind me was empty. One of the sons pushed the old man his father was arguing with down and I saw red. I ran over and took him down from a full run as I swept his support foot out from under him. He was incapacitated from the ground and my weight atop him. Once I acted, several others suddenly rushed in to make sure his brother didn't get involved until the cops got there.

I remember vividly the intense anger I had with that large crowd that had gathered. Anger that every single one of them were cowards and allowed a large man to bully a frail old man like they did. Honestly, I do not believe the majority will ever act, even if their own demise was imminent. Many people are just cowards. Not sure what the answer to that is.

The majority will always stand on the sidelines, waiting to determine who they believe has the upper hand and at that point will pretend to back the winning hand openly.

I say all of this because I am of the mind that things will never get better if people are waiting for the majority to get involved. They will refuse to act until they see successful opposition. The dark masters exploit this very well unfortunately.
