This time at least, the PM doesn’t bother to justify it. Our lives are built on a society that justifies the pains of those lesser than us as inconsequential. An African American was harassed, women raped in front of everyone and an old man fell victim to police brutality. These events have happened in our homeland and in the western part of the world as well. Understand that if you are a human being you are just as culpable as the perpetrator for staying put and not doing anything to help the people around you. Injustice should not be given a voice. Look around you, at all the people without voices, who can’t cry or talk or scream, trapped in this labyrinth of endless persecution by the tyrannical. You are the future, the torchbearer, the one who will either make or break the future. If we don't choose to act for the oppressed then we may give rise to a very different of Godzilla, that would ravage our future only this time instead of a large lizard, it would be rage and malice towards the very institutions that define our society; For better or worse.
