Is it better to do something or nothing at all?

I was watching a show called Criminal minds. It was about a young adult who was killing people because he was having psychotic religious episodes and he killed because he thought God told him to. The mother of the child knew what he was doing but did nothing to stop him or told anybody about him. So at the end of the show we found what she was doing and she asks what should she have done besides protect her child by doing nothing, and one of the team members responds It would have been better if you had done something than nothing at all. Since you did nothing three people have died. Now you have to deal with asking yourself what could have happened if you did something.

After watching this it got me started to think about what I had and hadn't done in my life. I was questioning about when I didn't do something would things have turned out differently. I think if we all consider this question before we do or don't act things may turn out differently. If we all just think back to other decisions we have made we could make better ones later and make things better for ourselves.

So I think if we all just consider this question some things will turn out better than they might of.
