Challenge Myself: Day #36 Help In Dire Times of Need

Today is Day #36 of our Nar Anon Group Just For Today Challenge. I am also integrating the Live Happy into my Challenge. The Live Happy Challenge for today is to call the police for help if you witness a crime

I know most people do not want to be involved in any matters like that and likely for many reasons. For one, fear of retribution.

The book says,

Don't turn a blind eye or deaf ear to criminal activity or injustice. Stand up for what is right. If you witness an accident a robbery, abuse of a child (even if it appears the abuser is the parent), dial 9-1-1.

Fear of reprisal or worry that getting involved may eat up too much of your time or cause you stress seems trivial when you consider that the crime could happen to a member of your own family. If so, you would want other's to help, especially if they witnessed what had transpired.

Aid someone in distress. Heling another person can be gratifying, and even make you happy whereas doing nothing can cause feelings of guilt and remorse.

If you saw someone in need of help would you?

If you saw someone overdosed on heroin would you call for help? Would you render help?

Have you ever witnessed a crime? Did you call the police or 9-1-1 for help?

We live in uncertain times don't we?

Just For Today: I will let go of the fear of the unknown.
