It takes courage to stand up for what you believe in but it takes greater courage to stand up for someone else. Injustice towards the innocent , the poor, the meek, It happens everyday. Sometimes it happens right before our eyes and we move on thinking what doesn't hurt us shouldn't bother us.
Do we derserve to be called human? I don't see a spark of humanity in the high society lady who lives in a penthouse apartment,in my building. She flexes her mucles to get a poor , old sweeperess chucked out of her job.I can actually see her talking to her La Di Dah friends about how much she's doing to spuce up our neighbourhood. Does this lady know what it is to go to bed hungry? Does she know what she has done is actually destroy an entire family.Why doesn't she pick someone her size?????
Am I any better, if I just hear of this and do nothing about it? I realize it is not enough to just be good person.It's time to act, to pick up my sword and proclaim my intentions. Then I won't need words, my actions will speak for me.
I may be an idealist but who cares, if the realists are people like my diamond clad neighbour,then I'd rather be an idealist. Armed with a sword I will go about my business quietly. What makes me really happy is the fact that when my neighbour meets me next, she will not stop to say hello.
