‘Consequences of Negligence’

“We must learn the consequences of negligence – it’s not just what we do, it’s what we DON’T do that’s important as well. We are guilty by omission.”

~ Matthew McConaughey

You can tell someone a thousand times what’s happening

You can change the way it’s told

You can tell everyone willing to lend an ear

There comes a day where it just stops

Not matter what you say

Or how you say it

Or who you tell

It falls on deaf ears

You’re not being heard

What’s the point if no one is listening?

Then the inevitable happens

Tragedy strikes

Only for the people who ignored you to come running back and ask why you didn’t say anything

But you did

Multiple times

In multiple ways

Ignorance is bliss

But it becomes negligent when there were warning signs

And the warning signs were ignored

History has a tendency to repeat itself

Study the pattern

How are individuals asking for help?

What happens when the pleas are ignored?

One person can only take so much

Change starts with one person

It’s a lot easier to clean egg off your face than it is to pick up the pieces of a shattered life
