About This Quote
Some things are fairly obvious when it's a seven-foot skeleton with a scythe telling you them. Sometimes the truth is not immediately obvious, but knowing that it is is enough for you to act on. The lesson in this quote is that you must act even if you don't know exactly what to do. If you don't act, then nobody else will, and the ones that do will end up getting hurt.
