Doing nothing
Description
Doing nothing is a deliberate strategy involving the conscious choice to refrain from intervention or action in response to a problem or situation. Its practical intent is to allow natural processes to resolve issues, prevent escalation, or avoid unintended consequences of interference. This approach can remedy problems where action may worsen outcomes, where resources are limited, or where patience and observation yield better results than immediate involvement.
Counter-claim
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. (George Bernard Shaw).
