It's not often that the horses run to their saddles, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Just as these equines defy convention by gathering near the auction where their saddles will go to the lowest bidders, we must defy our sheepishness and confront circumstances that threaten our way of life.
Many of those circumstances exist today.
Some occur in our daily lives. Others in our society. Yet others, in a world wide venue.
What can you do?
Learn to recognize the signs of threatening situations.
Take action to expose it.
Engage in positive behavior to transform the toxic situation into a safer one.
Why should you get involved?
People who commit wrongs against others, often feel they are doing nothing wrong.
They depend on others to passively support their behavior by doing nothing.
If you do nothing, it is highly likely the negative behavior will continue.
Consider this:
Late at night you are awakened by people yelling and screaming in a frightening way. You stare at the ceiling and wonder what you should do. You really don't want to get involved. You roll over and go back to sleep.
By going back to sleep, have you made the world a safer place?
Make the world a safer place for yourself and your loved ones!
Understand that Apathy Destroys!

How absolutley frustrating that the comments on this very provocative post had nothing necessarily to do with the post. You are an amazing trailblazer, and I agree that society has become inactive in reacting to violence amongst themselves. Please as a survivor of severe domestic violence that left me paralyzed. Please call for help when you hear those muffled screams. She will thank you later. (The word "she" is used as a random because, both men and women are abused and should both be treated with great care, concern, love and empathy.) Kind Regards, Jah Bless! Shayla Jones
Oh-- After two surgeries in two months I began to walk again, yet still have some mobility problems at times. But, unlike me some women don't have any second chances. Wake up!
