"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it"
- Martin Luther King Jr.
About this Quote
This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. is a powerful reminder that we all have a duty to withstand injustice and injustice. It is inadequate to merely accept wicked passively; we must actively oppose it. By doing so, we are not only refusing to cooperate with it, however likewise actively working to prevent it from continuing. This quote motivates us to take a stand versus evil and to not be complicit in its perpetuation.
