What would you do?
So, reading about the problems in Myanmar made me think about a question that I think a lot of us ask, but cannot answer.
What would you do? What if you were in Burma right now? Or in Germany during WWII? Or anywhere else where an oppressive regime is dictating the way to act, live, speak, etc.?
Would you stand up and say something? Would you walk the streets in protest? Would you resort to violence?
Or would you do nothing?
I would like to say that I would stand up, walk the streets, and protest. But in reality, I would likely do nothing. I can’t explain why. I’m not a coward who doesn’t say what he believes because of scorn. But imagine living under that regime for most of your life. Or being in a vocal, but very small, minority. You know what is right (I hope) and would hopefully do something…
But would you?
