Don’t Keep Quiet

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
One of King’s most important influences was Mahatma Gandhi. One of Gandhi’s more famous quotes is “Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly"
Silence becomes cowardice when the occasion demands speaking the whole truth. No one wants to live their life as a coward. Everyone wants to be able to look the mirror and respect the person they see looking back.
We begin to lose respect for ourselves when we go along with what we know we shouldn’t. We begin to lose our dignity when we allow our fears to prevent us from standing up for those who need defending including themselves.
A person without self respect and self dignity is no longer truly alive. They only exist.
Speak up. Don’t remain silent.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
