Doing Nothing

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
Edmund Burke

How many times have you sat there and said "Well, I don't like it but there's nothing I can do about it"? We think we have no control over what goes on, so there's no point trying. But our action is the only thing that can influence the world. If other people are doing things that we don't like, they will continue to unless we take action to counteract theirs.

Just as taking action is the only way to stop being fearful, taking action is the only way to show the Universe that you are serious about what you are doing. The Universe wants to see action. It will favor the person taking action over the one who doesn't, regardless of what that action is.
If an evil person takes action, then good men need to take action too, just to get the Universe's attention and support. Never sit around and do nothing. Take action. The only thing necessary for the triumph of what someone else wants that you do not is for you to do nothing to create what you do want.
