"我发誓无论何时何地当人类忍受痛苦和屈辱时都不能保持沉默。我们必须永远站队。中立帮助压迫者从不帮助受害者。沉默鼓励施虐者从未鼓励受虐者。"

Elie Wiesel

Simplified Meaning:

When people are being hurt or treated badly, it is important to speak up and take action. Staying quiet or not choosing a side helps the person who is causing the harm, not the person who is suffering. For example, if you see someone being bullied at school and you do nothing, the bully feels empowered to keep hurting others. But if you speak out against the bullying or help the victim, you are making a positive difference. This quote encourages us to stand up for what is right, rather than doing nothing. It's a reminder that our silence can actually make things worse for those who are already suffering. By speaking out, we show support and can help bring about change.
