Should we respond to social injustice?

Social issues that involve injustices and inequalities persist in every society. Many individuals have taken a stand against them, striving for change and partial victories. Are you prepared to respond?

It’s natural to become angry against wrongful behaviors that are happening around us. However, how much we should express our anger remains a debatable question. Anger is a negative emotion and indulging in excessive self-pity due to it is a form of self-destruction. But what else is the path ahead for us?

The legal system and social system of every country are designed for order, peace and security of the people.  Some exploit these to protect their own interests. Others manipulate the innocent, vulnerable, and helpless, wielding power and wealth to control major influences within society. We live in an age where courts, legal codes, and creeds are seen as idols for those with money. But we are in a state where our morals have become very desensitized. Just because we don’t react doesn’t mean we accept what we see and experience. It’s just that it’s not wise to respond by destroying our existence.

The first thing to do is to acquire knowledge and use it properly to improve our lives. It is possible for each of us to work sincerely to make others aware and find solutions to the problems of the society, to uplift the disadvantaged in the society, to make them educated, to find ways to overcome the problems without getting tired, to attract the attention of the authorities, and to create positive movements in the society. Our goal in life is to find a solution to at least one problem, to be able to provide happiness to at least one person, not to be superior to everyone, not to be superhuman.

Inspires you to grow into a bold agent of powerful change.

  1. God who time and time again shows his love and compassion for the weak, the vulnerable, the marginalized, the disenfranchised, the disinherited.
    Sin is sin, no matter who commits it. Therefore, social injustice is wrong and should not be tolerated.
    Everyone bears a responsibility to right the wrongs of social injustice.
