Martin Luther King Day 2013

It seems that last week’s post on Inaction was just setting the scene for this post. Today is Martin Luther King Day [^] in the US.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Dr King was talking about segregation and racial oppression in the 1960s, but this still hold true today. History is full of immoral acts that were allowed to continue unchecked because of silence and inaction.

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
