One can open one's trap sometimes and put a foot right in it with or without full knowledge of the situation. The effects can be catastrophic.
Similarly the other hand could apply - when I was in my late teens I saw 2 kids digging a hole in a sand dune. I knew it was dangerous but chose to say nothing - from memory I think I either would have been embarrassed or thought they would have just been cheeky and told me to bugger off ------ so I said nothing. As you can probably guess - those kids died. I got over the initial shock but only decades later realised that I was carrying baggage from it and it had pursued me all my life - until I finally found out that it was effecting me (unconsciously).
The universe tested me with that one again a few years back - I discovered the same thing near a beachouse I owned - I didn't make the same mistake - I told the kids the story --
they stopped digging - which I thought was a smart idea.
If they had told me to bugger off and died - I could have lived ok with that - I know you can only do so much - the rest is up to others and the universe.
So - what hurts more?
either and neither - judge it how it comes, make the best decision at the time and live with it.
have a great day all

ps - If you are interested in how my change from the post trauma of those kids dying came about - it was from Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) - still the most powerful psychological tool I have ever seen.
