In the Heat of the Moment

In the Heat of the Moment
What do you do when you get in those awkward positions where you just don’t know what to do? I mean, you know that you should tell, but you’ve been conditioned by the culture not to. Snitches are persecuted and ridiculed. They become outcasts as the masses disassociate themselves from such a man. So in the heat of the moment, you stop and let the madness continue before you. You try to carry on as if you saw nothing, but something inside of you tells you that you should have spoken up about what you just saw.
