“On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” And Vanity comes along and asks the question, “Is it popular?” But Conscience asks the question “Is it right?” And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right.”
– Martin Luther King Jr.
There is an African proverb that says,” When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.” I was inspired to write this blog by the quote above by Martin Luther King Jr. I recently read a paper about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder existing in children that have not directly experienced any of the stress. This condition could be felt by and affect the children and the children’s children of those who have been victimized by villains from the past. This condition permeates all demographics.
