"沈黙が裏切りになる時が来る。"
— Martin Luther King Jr.
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, keeping quiet about a wrong situation is just as bad as taking part in it. For example, if you see someone being bullied and you don’t speak up, you’re allowing the bullying to continue. It means you’re not helping the person who needs support. In history, there are many cases where bad things kept happening because people didn’t say anything, like during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Speaking up can make a big difference because it shows you’re not okay with what’s happening. In your own life, it means if you see something unjust, it's important to voice your concerns rather than staying silent.
