“To other countries I may go as a tourist, but to India I come as a pilgrim.” ~ Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr
“Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air”
Which silence do you want us to break?
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Folks, I wonder who are the enemies and who are the friends? If I knew I would get general idea what is this all about. Or may be not. But worth a try.
Immoral turpitude!

@moonclan
Difficult not impossible.
Hey moonclan
There is no question. Question has been already answered by Shantanu quoting Martin Luther King Jr.. And you folks seem to love that answer. Just admit and say that you don’t know what it menas. When one starts cheering and applauding slogans and/or quotes without understanding how it can help you improve the qualility of life for the self or others, he is showing symptoms of a brain washed person. I am not suggesting any thing here. I am sorry, no amount of quoting Hubbards and Shaws can hide the lack of wisdom.
