Silence

“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.”

- Martin Luther King Jr.

Often we are so afraid of the repurcussions that we don't speak out, that we don't take a stand. Those who make a stand are remembered and memorialized - they create our societies and they shape our world. To stand complacent is to fade into the background. Stand for what you believe in and speak out.
