Speak Truth to Power

I meant to post this last week, but I forgot. I just wrote it on a word document. So our last chapel was about "speaking truth to power". Mr. Hamamoto talked about how people always go along with things even if they dont agree with it. They do this because they are too scared to speak up. They are too scared to do something about it. He showed us a video about a man who stood up against the power (in this case the government) and he just wouldnt let them do what they wanted. He didnt let us see the end of the video, but he probably ended up getting killed. I was thinking about this, and I realized how true all of this is. I mean everyday this happens to me. It can be as simple as walking past trash on the ground. I want to be able "speak truth to power", but it really is hard. It's hard to speak up to people because you might get burned. I want to have the courage to do it, but it isnt that easy.
