RE: Mini Motivation #7 - Are you brave enough to practice bravery?

Thanks @maverickfoo. I think if I remember right there is some phenomenon called The Genovese Syndrome where people in a scary situation will see a stranger being attacked or abused and they do not do anything because they think others will do something. Has happened in big cities like New York

Interesting.

Anyway, thanks for the post . and I know I ,too, have been in situations in the past where I could have and should have done more.

Good for you to be aware and reflect on those past experiences. I too, had an experience where I saw a snatch thief took a lady's purse, and make a dash for it while she was shouting hysterically. I knew I could easily just stopped the guy with a bump, but I just froze. I realise it was that moment that I became an onlooker too. Maybe they, too, were paralysed by what's happening.
