"Sentarse y no hacer nada es cooperar con el opresor"
— Mikhail Gorbachev
Simplified Meaning:
When you see something wrong happening and choose not to do anything, you are helping the person who is causing the harm. Imagine a bully at school who picks on a smaller kid. If other students just watch and don't try to help or tell a teacher, they are making it easier for the bully to keep being mean. Staying silent or ignoring bad actions allows those wrongdoers to continue their bad behavior. So, it's important to speak up or take action when you see injustice, even if it feels safer to stay quiet. By doing something, you support the person being mistreated and show that you don’t agree with the bad behavior.
