No…a person can find it difficult to stand up for someone else because they may perceive potential danger to exist for themselves if they do so.
But if a person finds his own livelihood or safety in jeopardy then even the meek may find a voice or take action since it falls into the category of self-preservation.
Get it?
A significant enough threat to a person can drive him/her to action.

Yes…the key word in your statement above is “should”.

I agree. Didn’t think of your previous posts first para that way. But I get it now.
