"Oppression is never justified and it is not destined. When those with power oppress others, this injustice should be resisted and transformed. The changing nature of life’s circumstances is not an excuse to avoid actively responding to and disrupting social injustice, to sidestep our responsibility to speak up.

When we can do something to change things, we must."

May I dispel the ills of thirst and famine.

In the aeons marked by scarcity and want,
May I myself appear as drink and sustenance.

Our real enemy is not man, is not another human being. Our real enemy is our ignorance, discrimination, fear, craving, and violence.

We won’t bring about peace in the world merely by praying for it; we have to take steps to tackle the violence and corruption that disrupt peace. We can’t expect change if we don’t take action.

— H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama
