how do you feel inside when you see injustice? do you think that it is your responsibility to do or say something or do you prefer to remain silent? and if you choose to remain silent, is it because you think that freedom of speech is merely an illusion? or because you think that it is not your responsibility to do or say something? or is there some other legitimate reason that you choose to remain silent? tell me, how do you feel inside when you see injustice? hmmmm...
i often ask myself these questions. when pain and suffering reign so prevalently around the world. challenges abound from every corner. oppression. slavery. human trafficking. all forms of discrimination and abuse. genocides. wars. homelessness. hunger. starvation. abject poverty - worse than the kind most people think of as poor. yes. these conditions still exist for so many in this world we live in today. the thought of people, human beings, living under such inhumane, distressed conditions tear at the very walls of my heart. i sit with these thoughts, and the feelings they evoke. i sit with them and i look at them deeply. and i know, with all that i am, that it's just not within me to remain silent. (exhale).
*have a conscious friday and a divine weekend. one love.
