A speaker argues you should help someone like Aaron not because you know them or benefit yourself, but because helping is who you are. Identity-driven action, not obligation, sustains the commitment to stop harm.
Now, why am I going to intervene for Aaron? Why would I intervene? Why would any of you intervene for Aaron? Why would you care? Here's the answer almost nobody gives me. I'll get people say, if it was my family member, great answer. If it was me, you said that earlier, great answer. How about this one? Mike? I will intervene because it's who I am. By the way, I just want you to pause for a second and imagine if somebody had stood up and said, of course I'm going to stop these scenes for the next 4 years on campus. It's who I am.
