Fear in me

I saw two women throwing garbage at a roadside. There was already a pile of garbage and maybe the women confused it with the dumping site. Whatever be the reason, I knew what they were doing was wrong and I wanted to stop them but I didn’t. I don’t know why I hesitated, it surprised me. I wondered why I didn’t stop them? Was it because I was getting late for college and didn’t want to get into fight early in the morning? Or was it because I knew they wouldn’t pay me any attention to me at all? Or maybe because I am not as conscious about protecting environment as I like myself to think! It was my duty as a citizen to stop them from dumping garbage there but I didn’t do it. I regretted it later. Maybe I would have regretted telling them as soon as I did but it would have been less than what I am feeling now. I think it is high time we thought about protecting the environment but we just think and don’t act at all...
