Today I decided to share this picture, a man saving another man despite the color of their skin.
I’d like to see more or this scenes instead video where a man has been killed during a police arrest.
The man on this photo did a wonderful action at my eyes, giving a great example to everyone especially in this moment when a lot of anger came out for what happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis. This heroic gesture is an emblem that we should have faith and hope for the future and believe in our planet there are plenty of people like this man.
I choose to march for Black Lives Matter in London despite the pandemic, yes, maybe some of you thinks it was a bit dangerous for the spread of the virus, but I think that it was an important reason to take this risk, also considering so many people every day and everywhere risk their lives because labeled as suspected or dangerous in order of the color of their skin. I thought it was right to go out on the street and express our indignation, I also wanted to remember the victims killed in Italy for abuse of police power. It was very significant seeing a lot of people at the window crying watching us stuck at home for the lockdown they where all supporting us somehow, was very emotional seeing so many young people marching all united which gave me a lot of hope and faith in this new Generation.
As a Buddhist I wanted to share this quote:
“Courage is not always heroic action in a time of danger, it can consist of the persistent, unglamorous effort to do what we feel is right.”
We must always find the courage to speak out in front of an injustice situation.
