“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”
Dante Alighieri
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”
Bishop Desmond Tutu
The power of choosing good and evil is within the reach of all.
Origen
(the waning of summer’s bounty is found fading in a golden afternoon of Autumn / Cades Cove, TN, The Great Smokey Mountains National Park / Julie Cook / 2015)
Shades of a looming rivalry,a rift, a fight, a battle…a demand for decisions, choices, side choosing…
With or against
Either / Or
An expression that has found it’s way through literature, the movies, even political speeches.
A declaration of sides, choices and determination…
With or against
The end result, the outcome, the ultimate decision of choice…most often unbeknownst to the chooser… hinges precariously between life and death.
“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Matthew 12:30
