Can’t we all just get along?

[C-40]

Because when one chooses to be quiet over being negative, that same person loses its voice. Don’t do that! Don’t silence yourself. My own mother would routinely say, “If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all.”


And Another Thing:

The one who chooses to criticize how things are done nowadays risks the judgment of others, who find her words as negative and will likely be asked to try to just get along.

Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you.

If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind.! Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth

If you were paying attention in the spring of 1992, you probably remember this quote coming from the mouth of Rodney King. His broadcast appeal to the violent masses was made half way through the six-day-long rioting in Los Angeles. And to be fair, “Can't we all just get along?” were not his words.
