~:[CH14 - Day 49]:~ A Choir of Voices

There's something majestic about a choir singing. As you hear the voices blend together, it creates a beautiful sound that sends shivers through you body. You feel inspired and motived, but the question is, "why?" Today, we heard two speakers for the Day of Remembrances who talked about their experiences in the camps during World War II. They talked about how they were forcibly put behind barbed wire, forced to relocate to these camps, impacting the rest of their lives. At that time, not enough voices spoke up for them, as they were taken away as this supposed "threat" was taken away. In a time where many injustices are occurring and many facing discrimination or the potential of it, we must think about the voice we have. During times of oppression and mistreatment, do we have what it takes to speak up and face the oppressors head on, no matter the risks involved? What would it take for us to step up and stop this injustice, no matter how "popular" this action may be? For many, they supported these measures or stayed quiet. While they knew their neighbors who were being taken away, not enough people spoke up to stop it from happening. There was no choir of voices. History cannot repeat itself. As we live in a time where the chances of these injustices occurring exist, can we be a choir of voices that speak up again the things that challenge our stability, our security, and our standing in this world? Can we raises our voices in unison to allow the world to hear our cries, as we reach out to the ears of those who can help us stop it? Can we act before an entire population of people are mistreated, harassed, or uprooted from their stable and normal lives? Let's be that choir of voices who speak up as we see a number of things that are destructive to our way of life. The challenges ahead will be many, which is why we need a choir of voices to work together, no matter how different they are, to create a beautiful sound that will inspired the world. On the day of remembrance, let's remember these two, who lost everything because not enough voices were heard and let's raises our voices to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.
