The ultimate measure of a man
is
not where he stands in moments
of
comfort and convenience,
but
where he stands at times
of

~(Martin Luther King, Jr.)~

as
he who helps to perpetrate it.
He who accepts evil without protesting against it
is
really cooperating with it.

Barrel of Monkeys: Genesis in Reverse
Right or wrong, spoken or unspoken, opinions are not just collections of idle thoughts.
They have consequences.
They are windows to one's soul.

I didn't see it, I didn't hear it, I didn't have something I needed to say;
where injustice doesn't concern me,
I don't get involved.
