"The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people."
~Unknown
We witness TONS of things that go on around us every day. Maybe it's new life, a party, a sale, a celebration. But while we see all those great things, we also see bad things. Maybe it's someone being arrested, theft, heartbreak, betrayal, unfairness. We speak up about the great things in life, but what about the bad things? Do we say what's right, do we do what's right? If someone lies about data at work, do you say something? If someone is being bullied at school, do you stand up for them? Most likely, our answer is no. Why? If we have the chance to help correct a wrong, why don't we take it? Is it because you're afraid of losing your job? Is it because you don't want to be bullied?
I have fears about speaking up too, but maybe it's time to face those fears. You know what's right, God knows you know what's right. What else is there to it? Take a stand: Speak up!
