Are we capable of everyday heroism?
I came across this interesting article which was cited by Guy Kawasaki. Titled “The Banality of Heroism”, it looks at the “hidden heros” in each one of us.
At Abu Ghraib, one photo shows two soldiers smiling before a pyramid of naked prisoners while a dozen other soldiers stand around watching passively. If you observe such abuses and don’t say, “This is wrong! Stop it!” you give tacit approval to continue. You are part of the silent majority that makes evil deeds more acceptable.
This article also reminded me of the movie, “Das Experiement“. Highly recommended!
