The movement called passive actionism is still in its infancy although it has been around since the beginning of communication. So many people are involved in this movement but have yet to accept or recognize it. The basic tenant of this movement or basic conceptual statement is ‘It’s a good thing I was here/there’. For instance, you were with a friend crossing the street one day, your friend and you crossed and your friend didn’t get hit by a car and die. Seems normal right? Well the reason behind this is your passive action, meaning simply by you being there with your friend, he/she did not get hit by a car, and you actually helped them stay alive. The heroism of this movement is just uncommon surpassing that of firefighters and superheros. It also works at a less physical level, meaning, by just being there things happen, for instance you are at work, a meeting starts when everyone sits down, you can easily state ‘Its a good thing I was here’. Everyone might look puzzled, but any passive actionist in the room will understand and will probably counter, ‘Agreed, its a good thing I was here too’.
