We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
This quote underscores the importance of active engagement in the face of injustice. Remaining neutral or silent can inadvertently support those who commit wrongdoings, as it fails to challenge or oppose oppressive behavior. Taking a stand is crucial to advocate for victims and to discourage tormentors. It reminds us that moral integrity requires us to voice our support for the oppressed and to oppose tyranny, even when it is uncomfortable or costly. Silence or neutrality in such contexts effectively perpetuate harm and injustice, making it essential for individuals and communities to choose sides with courage and conviction.
