That’s the sad reality.
That violence happens.
Domestic violence happens.
And people just walk by on the other side of the road.
It doesn’t affect them anymore. They don’t seem to be upset
by this injustice. They simply gawk as they quickly walk by.
How many injuries- mental, emotional, physical-could be
avoided if we stood up for human dignity. If we spoke out against the injustice
that we see everyday. What would happen if we came to the aid of the widows and
fatherless, the weak and forgotten, the exploited and abused? I pray that our
hearts of stone would be shattered and we would be able to feel again. To be
moved by what we are surrounded by. Moved to action. To live in solidarity and
stand up for our fellow humans. Not walk right by in search of peace for
myself, turning away from the preventable pain that’s right beside me.
That is what we are called to do after all.
That is what we are called to do after all.
