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.

  • -- Desmond Tutu 德斯蒙德·图图

如果你在不公正的情况下保持中立,你就选择了压迫者的一边。如果大象的脚踩在老鼠的尾巴上,而你说你是中立的,老鼠不会欣赏你的中立。
