To Act, or Not To Act. What's Your Question?

A brother and his older sister are in the front yard playing catch with a baseball. The brother is slightly off with his throw and the ball passes by his sister then crashes through a car window, who's to blame? Most would point the finger at the boy who threw the ball, but what about the sister? She could have intervened. The omission theory states that if one does nothing, he or she cannot receive blame.
Because discerning the omitter's intentions is difficult, their character must be taken into consideration before placing blame. Consider the sister's character. She is an extraverted softball star who is also highly competitive. Now could she share blame because she smirkingly allowed the ball to pass by. Several minutes prior, the sister got into trouble because she didn't wash the dishes. Allowing the ball to go crashing through the car window would certainly take her out from the spotlight. Deception aside, studies show that the "bench warmer" has some similar dispositional traits.
Those who are Self-pitying, vulnerable, and insecure are known to sit back and do nothing about a situation. They see themselves as, " always being criticized" and, "unable to do anything right." They lean their omission on the cliché, "I'm damned if I do, and damned when I don’t." Unfortunately what these neurotics do not foresee is the grave they dig for themselves. There are other types of "bench warmers."
If one is not warming the bench because of neuroticism, then they are being deceptive. In the case of the sibling game of catch, the sister could have intervened. She is not physically responsible for the damage, but she is morally responsible. What the sister doesn't understand is car windows are easily fixed, but guilt and shame last much longer. What about those who, "Wait on God." Are they bench warmers?
Jesus says, "Repay no evil for evil; vengeance is mine." Okay so we take the bench regarding vengeance. There are several other instances in the Bible where God says to, " Be still, for the battles is of the Lord's." Well if God says to be still in a particular instance then amen. I maintain that when a specific revelation has not been given, then action is a duty.
Yes bench warmers are to blame. How far would the 9'ers have gone if Montana would have sat on the bench every time he threw an interception, or was booed? Putting ourselves into the game is our duty and moral obligation. I look at these men who pity themselves and wonder when the last time they grabbed a hold of those dangling things to make sure they are still there. To you I say, get off the bench embrace that adrenaline rush and throw the ball. Otherwise don't even sit on the bench. Just go home. And to the "Boo birds", boo all you want while you enjoy your overpriced beer and fattening hotdog; from the stands. Perhaps on the way home a baseball will find its way through your car window… you sultans of hypocrisy.
