The Right Place,The Right Time, is any where, when ever needed.

When is it good to intervene, do we do it only when were asked

Yes, when is the right time,does anyone really know, i ask this because for many out there knowing when to step in even when asked to, can be somewhat tricky. For example lets say  you see a neighbor physically abusing some one in their family, you want to intervene but you think to yourself what type of blow back will you recieve. I'll be more detailed "since i do like making sure people clearly understand my points"if a male neighbor is beating his girlfriend, or wife, and you go to her aide will she back you up or turn on you and tell the cops nothing happened, leaving you to deal with repercussion of your actions.Which could be negative, and if your some one with a family you may find yourself in a dark nightmarish situation, this happens alot by the way, however many would say you do it anyway regardless of the consequences, but thats easier said than done. Self preservation, and self importance, (which isn't always a bad thing ) tend to over ride reasons to do the right thing and as i said in a previous post doing good can sometimes cause unforseen problems, but having said all that i have said above i believe we should act on behalf those in need, when asked, andwhen not. A personal account: I was in walmart doing some shopping when an elderly woman came up to me in distressed, she told me her handicapped brother had fallen in the bathroom stall and she did not have the strenth to help him, so she ask me if i would help him. I could've said no, and went on about buisness,or i could have said hold on i'll get a store manager i chose to doneither of the above, my choice was compassion to help, i went in and saw her brother lying onthe floor in the bathroom stall he had hit his head but said he was alright. I lifted him up, andhelp to his feet,and cane which he used to walk, made sure he was ok to walk he said,he was buthe needed to clean up before leaving out, he thank me for my help i left out met his sister who was waiting on the outside, she thanked me and said she didn't know what she would've done had i not chose to help her brother. Which made me thank how many people had she asked, and how many turned down the opportunity to help, as i left with my cart i found a store manager, and informed him about what had happened he said he'd check in to it thanked me and headed toward the bathroom area. This incident is what gave me the idea for this post, sometimes we get so wraped up in our own little world, we tend to forget that their are other little worlds out there, that continually collides with our own little world and reality, and in some cases a few of these little worlds revolve around our little worldthreading us together in ways we can't fully understand. So when is it the right place, and time the right place is any where, the right time is when ever your needed.-Jac Sabertooth
