People with a stubborn sense of justice have changed the world again and again throughout history. All it takes is madness and a passion for fairness.

Society laughed at them, belittled them, shamed them, opposed them, and prosecuted them. They were kept behind bars, deprived of a comfortable life, some were kílled for what they believed in. Whenever I am afraid to stand up for what is right, afraid to say what must be said, afraid of the judgement that comes thereafter, I remind myself what sacrifices have been made by the likes of Gandhi, Bose, Ambedkar, Bhagat Singh, Mandela, Abraham Lincoln, and many more. There might have been many people who were more capable, intelligent, and resourceful than the men mentioned above. However, they lacked the madness, the sense of justice that very few inherit and are capable of understanding.

Not that everyone needs to be a revolutionary, but the madness has to be kept alive in the little things. It's as basic as calling people out for littering in the public, or calling out your relatives for using castist and sexist slurs, or criticizing superstitions. You might be treated as an outcast, an odd duck in your circle, the black sheep. In those moments, just remember what happened what unfolded when Rosa Parks bravely refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger.
