The document discusses the importance of speaking up against injustice and oppression rather than remaining silent. It argues that silence is not a solution and can be complicit in oppression, as expressed by quotes from Elie Wiesel and Abraham Lincoln. It advocates standing up for oneself and one's dignity, as appealing to the humanity of oppressors has never worked to gain freedom. The conclusion emphasizes that silence is a crime against humanity, and one must have courage to speak for oneself instead of losing one's identity.

1. As every coin has two sides and every scenario has two aspects,
silence itself can be a blessing and a sin. It truly depends on our
actionsthat define ourselves. In our society there are many
among us who are treated badly, condemnedand are brutally
abuse but they are silent. By not making a sound they are
suffering the wrath of people and society they are living in but
still, are silent. As Elie Wiesel as courageously said that TO
REMAIN SILENT AND INDIFFERENT IS THE GREATEST SIN OF ALL.
Not making an effort to survive, to make their existence
prideful and letting peopleabuse them is the greatest crime of
all. If we ourselves are not able to stand up for dignity, then no
one will stand up for us. As Abraham Lincoln has wisely said
that TO SIN BY SILENCE WHEN THEY SHOULD PROTEST BY
MAKES COWARDS OF MEN. Silence is never the solutionto our
worries.
It alwayshelpsthe other person to hit you with more capacity
than before. If we are facing violence, either from the society or
from our relationswe must take a stand for ourselves. If we are
silent, then we are guilty of complicity.By accepting the false
actionsof the people,we are proved to be wrong. That is
because if we are neutral in situationsof injustice, then we
have chosen the side of the oppressor. No one can harm us
until we ourselves want them to. In our society women are
facing many kinds of violence either sociallyof from their
family. Still, in these circumstances those who choose to stand

2. for themselves are given respect. Yet those who don’t are still
oppressed in allthe ways possible. We forget that NOBODY IN
THIS WORLD, NOBODY IN THE HISTORY HAS EVER GOTTEN
THEIR FREEDOM BY APPEALING TO THE MORAL SENSE OF THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE OPRESSING THEM. We must speak for
ourselves, our dignity and respect because as the authoronce
said that TO BE RESPECTED, IS NECESSARY TO RESPECT THY
SELF FIRST. Have courage and faith in yourself to stand on your
feet because once we are determined nothing in our way can
be a reason for us to stop.
If a person is determined to stand for himself, then he must
speak up for himself. Ignorance and silence are those railway
tracks whose ends never meet. Rather than losing your identity
to the people on whom your existence has no effect is a silly
and disrespectful act. In the end I would like to share the
words of NADEHZA MANDELSTAM, that IT IS BETTER TO
SCREAM, AS SILENCE IS THE REAL CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
So speak up, stand up or at least courage up for not the people,
the society but for yourown self. As you are IMPORTANT!
