passive = bad ?


Question Posted Thursday May 24 2007, 12:25 pm

I know it's noot good, you know to not do anything to help, but is it really BAD? you can't call it BAD can you? Cause I mean BAD is when you do something bad - like LIE TO YOUR MOM - but then lets say your little sister knows your lying and doesnt do anything about it - that's not good, i know - but it's not AS BAD as what the actual BAD ACTION is, right? Or is it all equally WRONG?

Your question doesn't really seem to make sense, BUT I'm going to try & answer anyways.


If you're asking if being passive is bad, it can be; yes. I mean, if someone's walking all over you & you're allowing it, that's bad because you'd be an idiot for letting anyone do it. However, if you're the sharing type of passive, like if someone takes a sip of what you're drinking [while asking first] & you let them, that's a good type of passive because you're sharing.


However, you need to be assertive. Don't be agressive, there's a difference. Agressive would be like "DON'T SIP MY DRINK, OMFG DIE." Assertive would be "I would appreciate it if you didn't drink from my cup." It's best to be assertive in almost all of the situations [unless you're pissed, but it depends on how pissed you are]. You don't wanna scare people away, and you don't wanna let people walk all over you. So I hoped this helped you & if not, that's life.

equally wrong. is saying nothing at all over lying as bad? people generally agree yes. whether passively or actively.. like lack of action or wrongful action the act is still bad. if you watch your friend murder your other friend and you dont say anything to justify the dead friend, it would be just as bad because you could have done something to make the situation right.
