The danger of wearing blinkers

I see the attitude of complacency around me and that includes me. Earlier I used to fight if I found something wrong going around me and thus winning the unpopularity vote!!! But now I wait for someone else to bell the cat. I wear blinkers and not bother to know what is happening around me. Nowadays I have this attitude 'Whose father what goes" I let it go and I am sure there will be many like me. This I think is not good for society as we will ignore the wrong doings around us and they get encouraged to do more wrongs. Have you see this trend around you Are you guilty too? The image shows you an expression of complacency Image credit:

I avoid to confront people, but I do not let people near me doing wrong.

@allknowing - Around me I only have my husband and workers we call to do something in the home or in the garden. My husband does nothing wrong, if a worker does something wrong, I call the company and ask to replace because I do not like how the person behave.

I do feel like that at times, but if there's no one else but me who sees it, I call it out. No one else is there except me, so I hold that responsibility. It doesn't matter who is doing it.

You could be an exception and that is a good thing. But I notice that trend here. We see so many wrong things but no one is bothered. I have adopted that attitude too. I used to be so involved in the good old days and even created enmity around.

@Jenaisle Not politics where we can do nothing but there are other issues that affect society

I think we all feel that way from time to time. We just have to overcome the urge to be complacent or evil will take over before we know it.

As we avoid facing the wrongs, it keeps piling up and worsens everything
