i still think that in some situations you should step back and just leave things ride out( not in all situations of course) it just like the saying goes....." with democracy bring disgruntal minoritys, if the minoritys do not like the way the majoritys work, then a even smaller minority would not like the way the bigger minoritys work. i hardly think that all the minoritys in germany during hitler reign just let him put them in camps, they most likely put up a fight but where delt with by force. for an example if 2 people where fighting with knives. do you become part of the problem if you do nothing about it? or do you become the solution if you get involved?
I do see your point here. I guess the time and place factor comes into play in these situations.
Maybe it's not the idea of getting involved Vs. not getting involved, but perhaps what you do when you are involved.
In your example with the two men with knives, I would of course find help (eg. local authorities), rather than just putting myself into the battle. You could, of course, be too late to save one of their lives, but I suppose that's the chance you have to take.
To get involved in the fight might be considered brave by some, but reckless by others. It's completely subjective I guess.
But sometimes we need more people who can and will be reckless, otherwise the problems in our world will never be solved. I'm not saying we should do anything extremely rash, but we need to still try - just be efficient about it. We need to do things smarter when we get involved in anything.
So before letting things work themselves out, see first if there is a smart way to get involved, if you see no way to help without putting yourself on the line as well, then you must make the decision. What you do is up to you.
There are only two important things in life - There's music and theres girls, not necessarily in that order....
