Fourteen hundred years ago, a man called Hussein
stood at crossroads
He had arrived at the planes of Karbala in Iraq,
faced with a stark choice, as many of us are faced in our lives.
He was facing tyranny and injustice
and he had a choice to make
He could have walked away with his life and intact and his family,
but he decided to make a stand,
a selfless stand
It was not for him that he stood to be counted;
it was for humanity at large
It was to stand up against injustice
of his day
The selflessness of Hussein
is a lesson for all of us,
for all of humanity
Many many times in our lives we come across situations 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,080 where we know we should make a stand,
we know we should say something,
but perhaps we are apathetic
Perhaps we feel it will be too much immature,
and we decide to look the other way
because at this point in time, it is not about us
Meanwhile people suffer
The question is
can we learn from Hussein
the secret of selflessness!!
What will you do the next time you are faced
with the same crossroad that Hussein,
will you walk away
or will you decide to make a stand,
the choice is yours.
