What would you do?

What would you do if you knew someone was doing the wrong thing. Would you confront them? Yell at them? Try to reason with them? Leave them be?

I'm so freaking amazed and pissed and sad, I don't even know where to start.

wrong thing?

I guess it depends on how we're defining, "wrong," doesn't it? Are we talking immoral (a value judgement that isn't necessarily shared by everyone), illegal (self explanatory), or just stupid (like my weight loss surgery friend that even lied to her Dr. about her depression and insomnia meds)?

"Wrong" is a judgement call as is "getting involved". If my friend were leaving spouse "A" for new lover "B", I'd probably at least talk about it, but I wouldn't try to stop it. None of my business. However, if spouse "A" was dragging the kids through a huge custody battle (after my friend left for "B") for no other reason than to hurt my friend, I'd get involved as deeply as I could. That's just wrong and cruel.

Of course, if "A" was talking about burning "B"'s house down in spite, I'd be all over that, too.

Does that make any sense?
