      Yeah basically. Like if you saw someone getting harassed you just "turn your cheek" like you didn't see anything. Maybe I'm thinking of the bystander effect...

        That seems cruel. That is unproductive to society. Things like this is what allows laws to be broken. You should not ignore someone in need. Everyone has the power to stop the bad they just do not always use it.
