First they came...

i once asked my sec 2 kid why he cldn't be bothered abt e world, why he was so apathetic abt e current events. wasn't he a part of this universe as well?
his answer for simply "for wad?!"
i cldn't find a reason to give him.
for me, i simply tot tt being aware of e current affairs was e correct mentality tt i shld have. yet as to why it is e correct mentality, i guess till now, i still do not have a reason to why...

Original	Translation
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist. Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat. Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich nicht protestiert; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter. Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.	When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
