Be awake!

(A short story about common sense and civil courage.)

Young law students are gathered in a lecture room of their university.

Ready to learn their first lesson - and it's gonna be a true life lesson.

The professor enters and takes a look around.

"You there, second desk. Blue jacket. What is your name?" he asks a student.

"My name is Alexis."

"Please leave my lecture room. I don't want to see you at one of my lectures ever again."

Everyone is quiet.

The student is irritated.

"I don't understand."

"I am not going to ask a second time. Thank you."

The student packs her things, gets up silently and leaves the hall.

The other students are speechless too.

Quite shaken not to say shocked.

They stare at the professor who looks at them attentively.

"Why are there laws?" he asks the group.

Still, nobody dares to speak.

Everyone looks at the others.

"What are laws for?" the professor asks again.

"Social order." someone says hesitantly.

"To protect a person's personal rights." Another student says.

A third replies.

"So that you can rely on the state."

The professor is not satisfied.

"Justice!" calls out a student.

The professor gives her a warm, encouraging smile.

"Thank you very much. Did I behave unfairly towards your classmate earlier?"

Everyone nods.

"Indeed I did. Why didn't anyone protest?

Why didn't any of you try to stop me?

Why didn't you want to prevent this injustice?" he asks.

Silence.

"What you just learned you wouldn't have understood in 1,000 hours of lectures if you hadn't lived it.

You didn't say anything just because you weren't affected yourself.

This attitude speaks against you and against life. You think as long as it doesn't concern you, it's none of your business.

I'm telling you, if you don't say anything today and don't bring about justice, then one day you too will experience injustice and no one will stand before you.

Justice lives through us all.

We have to fight for it. In life and at work, we often live next to each other instead of with each other.

We console ourselves that the problems of others are none of our business.

We go home and are glad that we were spared. But it's also about standing up for others.

Every day an injustice happens in business, in sports or on the tram.

Relying on someone to sort it out is not enough. It is our duty to be there for others.

Speaking for others when they cannot.

I am here to teach you the power of your voice.

I want you to learn criticial thinking

to empower you to stand up for what is right even if it means going against what everyone else is doing.

Let's begin."

Based upon a post by Joerg Storm and a short film by Chiara Gizzi.

જ⁀➴ We like to believe that ignoring the problem means we aren’t part of the problem 🍦

But it simply means the outcome will remain unchanged, with the victim having one less individual capable of taking notice.

Justice does not happen on its own.

It requires individuals who care enough to take action, sometimes despite discomfort and sacrifice. Not grand gestures, but the subtle moments in which it becomes simpler to avoid notice.

This is the choice made by most individuals.

Not because they fail to observe the injustice, but rather that they choose not to engage in such matters for their safety.

Their own selfish, cowardly, preservation. Their ability to maintain distance from matters of consequence.

However, should everyone make this choice, change will not occur. The unjust will continue to prevail within the space remaining unopposed.

It isn’t necessary to be brave or faultless in doing so. Simply unwilling to turn your back on what must be done.

For eventually, avoiding action becomes its own form of action. Benefiting the prevailing party in all circumstances.

🌼 Not everyone is in the position to be quiet without facing any consequences 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊

But some people can choose whether they say something or not, which plays a vital role in how things go.

Social popularity, status, reputation—all these are not just fancy words. In many cases, they determine whose words matter and whose don’t.

Someone influential says something, and his words get listened to. But if another person utters the same words, he will be either corrected or dismissed.

So, everyone quickly learns about their position in society.

When one knows what he should and shouldn’t say or do, when he mustn’t confront someone more influential than him, he understands it quite fast.

And fear becomes inevitable.

Not always apparent or expressed, but present enough to control the situation.

Because opposing a powerful social figure brings many risks one isn’t ready to bear.

Reputation. Possibilities. Relations.

All these are easily ruined.

So, rather than opposing something wrong and trying to change it, people adapt to it.

They smile at inappropriate jokes. Remain silent when it’s the wrong moment. Pretend not to hear.

Not because they don’t notice anything.

Just because they do, and they understand perfectly well who they are facing. Most prefer not to risk their safety.

You what I think?

The strong should protect the weak until the weak are strong enough to protect those who are as weak as they once were.

Today, I felt unsettled within about the things being said and done as I sat in the car during our trip and my mind became a whirlwind seeing the unsolvable things, and hidden things, but I tried to remember that God is with me, regardless of what anyone says. And asked His voice to stand above all that I hear. And I began to meditate on steadfastness at that time because I never understood it deeply before as to what this word means for a Christian, all these things were like a strong wind trying to uproot a tree....but I held onto God. I tried to remember Him and kept doing that throughout. Then tonight in my reading of psalms, I come across the same thing in Psalm 119:23-24 which says -

Princes also sit and speak against me, but Your servant meditates on Your statutes. Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.

Even through the noise around you, you can meditate on God's words.

To prove steadfastness, strong winds have to pass. Don't be shaken by any kind of trial, false witnesses and hard times that tests your faith and makes your heart sorrow. Know that its these tender things where your trust in God is tested. 

Be strong in faith.

“Progress is happening. I try to dedicate an hour to this each night, but sometimes it ends up being 2 hours. Any more than that and my eyes start to get sore.”

“I’ve still been struggling quite a bit with life and all its challenges and unfairness and the lack of critical thinking from most of the population. But in creativity, I find solace.”
