All too often, when we see injustices, both great and small, we think, That's terrible, but we do nothing. We say nothing. We let other people fight their own battles. We remain silent because silence is easier. Qui
Roxane Gay, in her book "Bad Feminist," highlights a common tendency among individuals to witness injustices and remain passive. She expresses the frustration that arises when people acknowledge wrongs but choose not to act or speak out. This silence can stem from a desire to avoid discomfort or conflict, leading to a lack of support for those facing challenges.
Gay's observations emphasize the danger of complacency in the face of injustice. By failing to engage with or support those who are struggling, we not only allow injustices to persist but also diminish our collective strength to effect change. She urges readers to confront their silence and consider the importance of taking a stand, no matter how difficult it may be.
