At what point does “not my problem” stop being neutral—and start becoming unethical?
In this short, reflective monologue, Sindy explores the quiet boundary between personal limits and moral responsibility. When we recognize harm but choose distance out of convenience rather than necessity, does indifference become a choice?
A calm, philosophical reflection on ethics, responsibility, and everyday moral decisions in modern life.
SCRIPT:
“Not my problem”
is one of the most comforting phrases we have.
It creates distance.
It draws a boundary.
It lets us breathe.
And sometimes, that boundary is healthy.
But other times, it’s convenient.
The shift happens quietly—
when we’re close enough to see harm,
but far enough to avoid acting.
When helping wouldn’t ruin us,
but it would inconvenience us.
That’s where “not my problem”
stops being neutral.
Not because we caused the harm—
but because we recognized it
and chose distance anyway.
Ethics doesn’t always ask for sacrifice.
Sometimes it just asks
whether we walked away
when we didn’t have to.
