~:[CH10 - Day 60]:~  Voice

Can we just stand by and watch? My friend has been updating me daily about the on goings in Myanmar and keeps asking me, "how can we protect our people?" I understand how much we have to worry about with the pandemic, but what about those who have to deal that and so much more? We complain about having to wear a mask or stay inside and I understand the impacts and effects it has, but what about those who truly lost their voice with their government being taken over and the people being silenced. In the middle of the night, people are being taken away and this young lady is one of the many who paid the ultimate sacrifice, her life. The scary thing is, the radicalization did not leave us far from a moment like this. In these moments, no matter what what are beliefs are, we must speak up because a coup cannot be acceptable especially when it goes against the will of the people. The voices of those in Myanmar have not been heard by enough people. The voices of Hong Kong were, but slowly faded away. How can we not hear these voices that so desperately need us? When we will step up and help? I know the argument is that we have our own problems to deal with, but if we keep ignoring all that goes around the world, it will be us who is left alone and isolated when we need the help. Let's all be a voice for the injustice that goes on around the world and let's give a voice for those who are less powerful. I understand that I once again post a similar message than I sent days earlier, but these people need a voice and I hope to at least do what I can to make that happen. She worked in a beauty salon, but spent her finally days protesting to return their elected leader to power. She may no longer be with us, but we can still give her the voice she gave her life for.
