I believe there is no greater threat than to not speak up your mind and stay quiet.

#speakup

If they pay no heed to your call walk on your own.
Walk alone, walk alone, walk alone, walk all alone.
If none speaks, o wretched one,
If all turn their face away and cower in silence—

Then open out your heart
dear one, speak out your mind, voice
alone.
If everyone spurns, o wretched one
If all leave you in the lurch in wilderness

@musafir
Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high
whr knowledge is free
Whr the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls
Whr words come out from the depth of truth
whr tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection
Whr the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Whr the mind is led forward by thee
into ever widening thought and action
In to that heaven of freedom, my father
LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE!

@musafir Something I heard and read a long time ago and something whose meaning's value has kept increasing with time.
