Shamelessnes of denial
If we lived in a country in which all structures of state and society had a consensus about this
honest attitude, that every person must have their own right, regardless of their name, there
would be less need for citizens to come together to protect themselves or to express their
solidarity in protecting others. Unfortunately, more often than not people realize this only
when they feel injustice on their own skin and see that the others don’t care because they fear
for themselves, and in fact merely hope they are not the next in line.
