Bobong Aktibista (Dumb Activist)

“I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being, first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” ― Malcolm X

I am for truth that’s why I expose it while you are for injustice that’s why you bury it. Human being is the steward of humanity; humanity is the soul of humanitarian; humanitarian upholds human rights to whoever for whatsoever. (The dumb activist explains.)

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel

You who condemn me has taken their side – the safe side of silence. (The dumb activist pointed.)

“Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don’t give up the fight.”
― Bob MarleyBob Marley – Legend

If they can’t do it, we, who are able, are challenged to do it for them. But unfortunately, you are all coward. (The dumb activist described.)

“It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Now I have seen the result: A few said “You are incredibly brave”, some said “Thank you”, more said “I can relate.”, but the majority said “Why? Asshole!” But It doesn’t mean I stop doing the right thing, and it surely means you will keep on silencing yourselves. (The dumb activist heard.)

“To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men.”  ― Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I have many sin of commission, and I don’t want sin of omission aggravates them. But you who are silent in front of your oppressors and mocked the dumb activist, congratulations, you have committed both. (Greetings from the dumb activist)

 “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

I am the dumb and you are not so i guess you already understand this. (The dumb activist admitted sarcastically.)

“Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Silence = Coward (Oh, I did not mean that was you. Sorry I am so dumb.)

“A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.”  ― Edward Abbey

I thought patriotism is what government employees should have in character. I don’t know but it seems you are all good actors. Far better than me. (The dumb activist assumes.)

“We declare our right on this earth…to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.” ― Malcolm X

By any means. (The dumb activist repeated.)

“Because it’s no longer enough to be a decent person. It’s no longer enough to shake our heads and make concerned grimaces at the news. True enlightened activism is the only thing that can save humanity from itself.” ― Joss Whedon

Now I shake my head, but this press is no longer enough to knock out the silence in you. (The dumb activist regrets.)

Below is the material I published when I was branded “bobong aktibista” by some smart people.(LOL) Well, the scholars, philosophers, and great names have spoken. YOUR SILENCE IS SO LOUD THAT NO MATTER HOW FORCEFULLY WE SHOUT, WE CANNOT BE HEARD.
