In middle school, I watched as my friend bullied someone. He got bullied so hard he got into a fight and later had to leave the school.
Although I never participated in the bullying, I also did nothing to stop it despite my best friend being one of the perpetrators. Edmund Burke said, "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." I would argue that the men who do nothing do not even deserve the title of "good".
I still think about that bullied kid sometimes. I can still remember what he looked like. I have no idea what happened to him, or how his life went. I can only pray that no lasting scars were left and that he went on to lead a positive and fulfilling life.
The good thing is our challenges make us stronger in the long run. That's a great quote. Thanks for sharing.
