Do You Turn a Blind Eye?

Taking a blind eye....one of the many variations on the theme of doing things the easy way.

take the right path.... and dont turn away when you should do the right thing and not ignore a situation because it makes life easier......great post as usual... thanks

Celeste, IMHO, Turning a blind eye to the event makes you as guilty if not more so than the party "doing the deed". It takes more kahoonas to stand up and do what is right than just to let things slide. But then, that is my 2¢'s worth...

Avoid confrontation- Put personal safety first- if someone is doing something unethical best to discuss it with your Broker rather than take matters into your own hands. Little things can turn ugly quickly.

I agree turning a blind eye makes you a party to the action.  Of course, it does make a difference how you approach the person but to not do anything is wrong.

Good morning Sally,

Very thoughtful post and one we should really think about. Many times it's easier to not confront the guilty party because we are busy and don't have time for the hassle. However we hurt ourselves in the end for not doing the "right" thing.

Turning away from someone doing wrong is tacit approval of the action. It also says a lot about both individuals!

Sally I completely agree with your point here nad was reminded of the saying, "Evil flourishes when good people do nothing"

Sally it was easy in High School when the kid next to asked for the answers, I would give him the wrong answers.  I can't understand why he stopped asking .............. LOL

And by the way turning a blind eye is as bad as the wrong, be cause now we have become part of aiding the wrong.

Sally...you have no idea how timely this post was....being true to what is right can be so hard at times it's almost impossible to see the plusses in it!

Sally ~  I always weigh things a bit.  I try to talk to the person and give them a chance to take corrective action.  I think often we may judge.. or even misintrepret something.. So I think it is important not to jump to conclusions. 

Sally - the question is always can you live with yourself after you make the choices you make???

I'm trying to get my head wrapped around your motive for writing this - philisophical moment, or springing from some recent interaction that demanded a response?  Seems like a proposition that demands an example to make it more concrete...
