The speaker was clearly relaying a very concise and meaningful message. There are a lot people nowadays who are terrified to speak out and express there true and honest opinions. We are not designed by God to remain silent in all ways of life but we must become true to ourselves and be mindful of our own ways to manifest our own beliefs and genuine opinions.
Wow

You are a very lonely man who deserves your fate. If your life amounts to only the things you wish you would have done then that is your unique condition. Things that people do not say are just that and not yours to interpret or decode.We are who and what we are. This does not mean there is no hope or that our decision to remain silent is wrong because each situation is unique in spite of your effort to paint life with such a broad brush.. For you and at that moment you were wrong only because you have admitted it. Your decisions at any given moment can not be allowed to shame others into submission. You are the man who can not live with your decision and now somehow shaming others for the same mistakes as seen in your mind is some how the right thing to do. If life could only be as simple as the philosophers would have us believe. Good luck with whatever it is you seek. For me I see a sad man who needs company. Making others feel bad is easy and the mark of a bully. Leadership should be demonstrated with positive actions to uplift the reason for our existence.That is our only true redemption.

DMB 4LIFE I saw this NY license recently. I wonder if the owner meant DUMB, or not.
We are all dumb to some things, and speaking up may help to wake ourselves and others up.
TRUMPISM needs a WARNING. I fear an attack on the ECONOMY, Stupid, as well as on democracy

in the 1968 speech where he reflects upon the civil rights movement, states in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends. As a teacher, I have internalized this message. Every day, all around us, we see the consequences of silence manifest themselves in the form of discrimination, violence, genocide and war. In the classroom, I challenge my students to explore the silence in their own lives through poetry. We work together to fill those spaces, to recognized them, to name them, to understand that they don't have to be sources of shame. In an effort to create a culture within my classroom where students feel safe sharing the intimacies of their own silences, I have four core principles posted on the board that sit in the front of my class, which every student signs at the begging of the year:
read critically, write consciously, speak clearly, tell you truth. and I find myself thinking a lot about that last point. tell your truth and I realize that if I was going to ask my students to speak up. I was going to have to tell my true and be honest with them about the times where I failed to do so. So I tell them that growing up as a kid in a Catholic family in New Orleans during that I was always taught that the most meaningful thing one could do was to give something up or sacrifice something you typically indulge in to prove to God you understand the sanctity I have given up soda, McDonald's, french fries, French kisses and everything in between. But one year I gave up speaking. Figure the most valuable thing I could sacrifice with my own voice, but it was like I hadn't realized that I had given that up a long time ago.
I spent so much of my life telling people the things they wanted to hear instead of the things they needed to told myself I wasn't meant to be anyone's conscience because I still had to figure out being my own so sometimes I just wouldn't say anything, appeasing ignorance with my silence, unaware that validation doesn't need words to endorse its existence. When Christian was beat up for being gay, I put my hand in my pocket and walked with my head down as if I didn't even notice. couldn't use my locker for weeks because the boat on the lock reminded me of the one I put on my lips on the homeless man on the corner looked at me with eyes up merely searching for an affirmation that he was worth seeing. I was more concerned with touching the screen on my Apple and actually feeding him one. When the woman at the fundraising gala so I'm so proud of you. It must be so hard teaching those poor, unintelligent kids. I bit my lip, because apparently we needed her money more than my students needed their dignity. We spend so much time listening to the things people are saying that we really pay attention to the things they don't.
Silence is the residue of fear. It is feeling your flaws gut- wrench your tongue. It is the air retreating from your chest because it doesn't feel safe in your lungs. Silence is Rwandan genocide. Silence is Katrina. It is what you hear when there aren’t enough body bags left. It is the sound after the news is already tied. It is charring. It is chains. It is privilege. It is pain. there is no time to pick your battles when your battles have already picked you I will not let silence wrap itself around my indecision. I will tell Christian that he is a lion a sanctuary of bravery and brilliance. I will ask that homeless man what his name is and how his day was because sometimes all people want to be is human. I will tell that woman that my students can talk about transcendentalism like their last name was the Thoreau, it just because you watch one episode of the wire doesn't mean you know anything about my kids. so this year instead of giving something up, I will live every day as if they were microphone tucked under my tongue, a stage on the underside of my inhibition. Because who has to have a soapbox When all you've ever needed is your voice
Too much sauce!!!!

Hi sa mga classmates ko jan! Kasalanan ng group 2 to HAHSHSHA
woww this video really slapped my face so hard. I've always chosen to be silent and only speak when it's absolutely necessary. I didn't realize that with silence, we wouldn't change anything. But our silence may have a bad impact on others and also ourselves. I always hesitate to express my opinion and spend my time just thinking, is my opinion acceptable and matter to others? And whether what I’m gonna say is right? Just like what the speaker said, i just wouldn't say anything, and appeasing ignorance with my silence.
The “silence is the residue of fear” was blown my mind and made me realize that it's feeling my flaws. From now, I will not let silence wrap itself around my indecision again. I will be braver to say what I think is right.
Thank you so much for this beautiful speech ?
