I agree with StaceyG... you did something! That was the key thing, really, Acadia. You saw an injustice and did something. Too few of us do!
And I agree with Nance. Living in a situation long enough inures one to what is really bad about it. Why else would the real atrocities that have been perpetrated on humankind have been able to continue? Apathy (as someone earlier pointed out) and also a sense of "this-is-how-things-are" allows this sort of thing to continue.
There are any number of justifications an individual can come up with for "not-getting-involved". Very few for "Getting-involved". And, after the fact, with all the strife one potentially faces, one can't help but ask oneself: "was it worth it?"
A resounding YES.
You have your self-respect, Acadia. That counts for everything!
