The saying goes the opposite of love is hate, yet, the truth is the real

opposite of hate is indifference. In WW2, there was a German Pastor who

wrote one of the most profound poems ever written about apathy, titled

They Came For Me, the words are the following in summary, they came for

the

Communists I said nothing for I was not a communist, they came for the

Socialists I said nothing, they came for the Trade Unionists I said nothing,

they came for the Jews I said nothing, they came for the Catholics I said

nothing and then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for

me. The man survived 2 concentration camps, the message apathy kills a

nation should be a trumpet blast, because one thing for certain human

history is so good at repeating itself, is it not.


They Came For Me.
