Kareem’s Daily Quote
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Silence comes in many forms. Think of it as the three “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” monkeys: one with hands over eyes, one with hands over ears, and one with hands over mouth. Hands over ears: The unwillingness to follow the news so you can claim to be unaware of bad things happening to others. Hands over eyes: Insisting on following only biased sources that confirm your own prejudices. Hands over mouth: Refusing to speak up when you know there is an injustice.
This is how injustice thrives. People who say, “I don’t follow politics,” or “I don’t watch the news because it’s depressing,” don’t seem to be short of expressing strong convictions regarding political and social issues in private. They even shake their heads and cluck their tongues sympathetically at injustice to others.
They just lack the conviction to do something about it.
