An act leads to a reaction too many times in the negative rather then positive realm. The reason this occurs is those who refused to act will feel some uncomfortable from your step outside their bounds, they might be jealous that you’ve done what they’ve only thought, and fear the new. Many will search to find the smallest cracks in your decision and try to make them appear as large as a sink hole swallowing up everything good around them. Therefore many people will fear to act knowing that conformity brings peace in their wrong even if it hurts them and those around them. It isn’t even being that rebel but someone’s got to do it if things will truly change for the better and understanding others reaction in advance helps you boost your flag for the long term.
