A quote used much in the past: "If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem"
The best of this notion is our choice to respond to this as a motivation for self evaluation and thought.
One asks themselves, "If I don't act then am I endorsing the problem by silent complicity?"
For most of us we solve the easy problems like what to wear, what to eat, to the complexity of marriage, Legal action, financial dealing or woes.
Real solid problems that effect us are our family, friends, our neighborhood, our community, our State and our Country. But because it is so big there is the feeling of being only one voice and the accompanying feeling; what could that one voice matter?
So a decision to act, to speak, to exercise a right, a freedom, a responsibility of citizenship is let go..no speech, no exercise of a right.
Tyrants fear free speech and depend on silence.
Silence is affirmation born of fear and shame.
Our silence makes us the problem.
Our Solution is our voice in our home, our work, our neighborhood all the way up to our government.
That is our strength, our history and how we will teach those who will follow us. teach those what it means to be freedom loving people.
