First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for me
and by then there was
no one left to speak for me.
- German anti-Nazi activist, Pastor Martin Niemueller
There is only one light left in the world, one, and that is Empathy. When that light is gone all will be lost. Because from the lost of the ability to feel beyond our own needs and understanding we will have lost the ability to effectively communicate with one another. And the human collective no longer can be descried as a society of people but a people of survival from society.
