Act 2, #2

"It is sometimes necessary to take decisive, pre-emptive action against someone because of what you fear he or she might do later."

   Assuming and over thinking situations about another can change your opinions and views on
them, and not always in a good way. People tend to overlook the good that can happen and always think of the worst case scenario. It's different if you know something bad could for sure happen, like going to a party and everyone's doing drugs or your friend wanting to sneak out to a club in East Vancouver. If there is a high possibility of something bad most likely to occur, then take action because you never know what could happen.

   When you take pre-emptive action against someone because of what you fear  someone might do later on is wrong in my opinion. There's a difference between knowing and guessing. If you know for a fact something wrong is going to happen is understandable, guessing can ruin some type of friendship or connection to the person. For example, breaking up with your boyfriend/girlfriend because you "thought" they might cheat on you or ending a friendship because you "thought" they were going to tell others your secret. 
    
   You obviously don't know if something bad could happen in the future unless you confront the person about the whole situation, that's pretty much the solution to the whole problem, instead of jumping to conclusions. You never know what the future holds, and you've got to learn to take risks instead of trying to solve everything before hand. Others may have a different opinion and think it's right to stop unwanted things to happen to them before they occur, but possibly hurting someone in the process isn't always a good decision.
    
    In conclusion, no I don't think its necessary to take decisive, pre-emptive action against someone because of what you fear they might do later, although other people may have different opinions, personally, i'm a risk taker and I don't like changing fate.
