You almost have to step outside yourself and look at you as if you were someone else you really care about and really want to protect. Would you let someone take advantage of that person? Would you let someone use that person you really care about? Or would you speak up for them? If it was someone else you care about, you'd say something. I know you would.

About This Quote

Sometimes we have to put ourselves in the shoes of others. If we truly care about them, we’d want to protect them no matter what. This means standing up for them when others try to hurt them or take advantage of their kindness. It’s not fair to get abused by someone else. It’s not right for someone else to get away with treating you poorly.
