If not you, then who?

Here's the question I have to ask myself about a number of things….if not you, then who? I got forced into asking myself that question recently. How can I continue to watch someone I care about make the same mistakes over and over without ever saying anything? Another rhetorical question. It seems to me that at a certain age, your instincts/intellect should begin to kick in and discourage you from making life altering mistakes. However, I realize that’s not the case. I was just reading something that compared growing up to growing old. If I chose not to do anything but to lie in the bed for the next year, I’d still have grown another year older the following year. That being said, growing old does not require action, but growing up does. When will they grow up? When will they see what we all see? Should I continue to stand on the sideline with the other onlookers shaking our heads in disgust? Or, am I grown up enough to tell the person like it is? That takes a certain amount of maturity too. This is why I’m backed into a corner thinking if I won’t step up and say something, then who will? How long should the foolishness continue?

If not you………..then who?
