What Would You Do?

Last night I watched 'Primetime: What Would You Do' on ABC. In case you haven't watched the show, it puts strangers in random scenarios to observe their reactions. For example, last night's scenarios included: a date-rape drug being slipped into a woman's drink, a man stealing gas from another gas-station customer while the customer was inside, and shoppers with loaded carts trying to cut into a supermarket express check-out line. ABC hires actors carry out these scenarios while hidden cameras catch the reactions, both good and bad.

I was disgusted with how some people react to a negative situation! Instead of speaking up for what was right, people would often ignore the situation to avoid conflict. I would often try to put myself in the situation, and imagined myself doing the right thing. In today's society, it is hard to find a Good Samaritan. So here's my point, you should live your life by the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. (Matthew 7:120)

In other news..o'wait, there is no news! Things have been pretty quiet around here. We both are working a lot (when school ISN'T cancelled), going back to the gym, and catching up on our Netflix! We hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far!
