RE: Non Judgement & Deprogramming the Fight or Flight Response Balances Heart
They came for the name-callers and I said nothing, because I'm not a name-caller.
They came for the Christians and I said nothing, because I'm not a Christian.
They came for the conspiracy theorists and I said nothing, because I'm not insane.
Then they came for the independently minded skeptics, and those types never stand up for anyone but themselves, so they were easy-pickins.
This really reinforces how important free speech is and also those channels being kept open - not only so that we are aware of injustices, but also because often 'they' come for those who are dissenting in order to control others as much as possible, but if everyone has access to the free flow of ideas, then the destructive ideas that 'they' attempt to enforce, cannot gain so much acceptance!

First they came ...
"First they came ..." is the poetic form of a prose post-war confession first made in German in 1946 by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). It is about the cowardice of German intellectuals and certain clergy (including, by his own admission, Niemöller himself) following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been published in the English language. It deals with themes of persecution, guilt, repentance, and responsibility.
