Aristotle – “What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.”

I think he had his finger on the problem, didn’t he? Just because we can do something doesn’t mean we ought to do it. We’ve got the power of judgment, we can think for ourselves, let’s use our brains and make informed decisions. And let’s learn to say no when something doesn’t agree with our belief system. The point is to stop blindly doing things, and to reason it out for ourselves why it is we are doing something, in particular when that something will have consequences on others.
