“If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last.” - Ronald Reagan
It is so much easier to hate the circumstances, leaders, people, culture and everything but us. We are vocal people and we will bash to no end, sitting in our cushy drawing rooms things we can’t stand, but when we need to stand up, we back away into oblivion, in fear and apathy. The truth is, taking a stand means is at the core, standing for your own morals, values and principle - taking a stand for who you are.
Like Reagan said though, not taking a stand in only an illusion of safety. It is being an ostrich with eyes shut to the imminent danger. Standing for something is really the only way to create the ending we want, we hope. Standing against or standing for - either ways it’s important to make the choice and take a stand.
