When Doing Nothing is Doing Something

"We can try to avoid making choices by doing nothing, but even that is a decision" (Gary Collins).
When doing nothing is doing something:
"The King will answer, 'I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my people here, you also did for me.'
Then the King will say to those on his left, 'Go away from me. You will be punished. Go into the fire that burns forever that was prepared for the devil and his angels. I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink. I was alone and away from home, and you did not invite me into your house. I was without clothes, and you gave me nothing to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you did not care for me.'
Then those people will reply, 'Lord, whe did we see you hungry or thirsty or alone and away from home or without clothes or sick in prison? When did we see these things and did not help you?'
Then the King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, anything you refused to do for even the least of my people here, you refused to do for me.'"
(Matthew 25:40-45)
