I doubt quoting MLK will change your mind, but considering what the Black community in America went through for 100’s of years; it’s worth consideration… >Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. >Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. >The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict. >The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. >The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people. >We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. >Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one’s soul. >Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. >The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?” But… the good Samaritan reversed the question: “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?” >In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. >He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. >History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. >Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
