“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

Desmond Tutu, cleric, theologian, religious figure, activist, South African

  1. By-standers viewing injustice without taking action to help the oppressed are certainly guilty of injustice themselves. Easy to say when sitting at home in front of a computer as I am now. Harder to follow through and actually do something.
