One of the themes of the Book of Ruth is taking responsibility. Both, if one is a leader or a common person, we are responsible for doing the right thing.

How To Be Remembered
פרשת במדבר / ד’ בסיון תשפ”ב – מ”ח בעומר
In the Book of Ruth we are introduced to a character known as Ploni Almoni, the Hebrew equivalent of John Doe. He is presented as a good man who does not want to marry Ruth. He has solid reasons not to, and he was wrong. Boaz could have used the same excuses but chose not to. That is why we remember Boaz and not Ploni Almoni.
