I remember standing in line at a liquor store, watching a (likely) homeless woman carefully pocket some food item. I said nothing. I talked about it the next day at work. A coworker suggested I'd just passed an "ethics test."

That was many years ago, before I'd established my current worldview. Today, I'd be silently rooting for them. "Get some food!"

I wouldn't call that necessarily passing an ethics test. You could've wanted to say something, but were too lazy.

Not doing something wrong is different from doing something right.
