Do Nothing - The Best Option

I do believe that doing nothing is always an option and sometimes the best option. Doing nothing is not always what it seems. When you choose to do nothing you still have to continue doing what you were already. Considering the current economic situation doing nothing was an, and may have been the best, option. When there is a situation that needs to be acted upon the decision making process must include, as the first step, the decision on whether any action should be taken at all. Doing nothing does not mean you are not concerned but you may have determined that the best action is not act.

My wife is currently 4 months pregnant and she enjoys watching shows on TV about pregnancies and the complications that can arise. During a show she was watching last week a woman was given birth at home without any assistance other than here husband. The baby was ready to deliver but there was a complication. The baby was coming breach, with the feet coming first, which is very dangerous for the baby. If there had been a doctor present or she had been in the hospital at this point they would have done an emergency delivery to get the baby out. As it was she had researched what to do if complications arose and new that if this happened the best course was to resist the urge to push and just let the baby work itself out. She did this and the baby delivered without any harm to it or the mother. A situation where doing nothing was the best course of action.
