Responsibility

When you do nothing

When you do nothing

  • Often injustice lies in what you are NOT doing, not only in what you are doing. Not doing evil isn’t enough; you must also be a force for good in the world. All that evil needs is good people to do nothing.

  • Those who are unaffected should be outraged as those who are affected. So, take a stand and speak up when you see injustice and share it with people you know. Go to rallies to protest, volunteer, and contribute to group efforts.

  • Learn about possible actions or alternatives to correct the injustice and remember that united we stand, divided we fall.
