We have heard since childhood that there is great strength in unity. But if we look around us carefully, we will notice that this strength is often used by bad people, not by good ones. Many good people use their goodness as a shield for their cowardice.

We see around us that a handful of criminals can intimidate thousands or even millions of people, even when the majority of them are decent and law-abiding citizens. We see how a few thugs can commit terrible crimes in broad daylight—rape a girl, murder someone, or spread fear—and yet the rest of society remains silent. People close their eyes and say, “This is not my concern” or “This is not my family’s matter.”

I consider that person cowardly and morally guilty who stays silent in the face of injustice and hides in the safety of his home instead of raising his voice for what is right. What is the value of such goodness if it forces us to suppress the voice of our own conscience?

The reason we witness so much hooliganism, violence, and criminal activity today is largely because millions of ordinary people remain silent. Their silence gives strength to those who do wrong.

Now, I have made it a purpose of my life to unite the good citizens of this country and inspire them to stand together against injustice. My goal is to help create a society where goodness is not passive, but active and courageous.
