Don't Ignore That Sinking Feeling

Ishmael had misgivings about Ahab before they met.
One reason it's difficult to "see something, say something."
when a man suspects any wrong, it sometimes happens that if he be already involved in the matter, he insensibly strives to cover up his suspicions even from himself. And much this way it was with me. I said nothing, and tried to think nothing.

The modern world distracts us from thinking about or doing what is right, which is usually quite difficult or it would have been done long ago.
