Sitting in class listening to student, I often realize something is wrong with the average person. There is a reason the Bible refers to man as sheep, we are truly followers. If we pick a good leader to follow, great, but if we follow an idiot.... Case in point! Have you ever notice in high crime communities snitching is a bad thing?
A nice elderly lady who bakes cookies for the neighborhood children is rob or assaulted. If anyone who knows what happen tells, they are ostracized. The culprit is usually a person who has terrorized the neighborhood. And the rule of the street is to protect the evil person and let the good person suffer. What sense does that make?
When did bad behavior become good, and doing the right thing become bad?
True story. A student who was mentally tortured by another student daily saw that student commit a senseless crime. This student has talk about one day getting him back, or hoping something bad happened to him. . But on this day when he had the power to do something, he simply said, "I'm not a snitch." It was like he was quoting the Ten Commandments from the hood Bible.
Somebody please tell me, are we really that simple minded? We can't possibly think for ourselves if we can't see through the flaws of the snitching commandment !
