"ليس من الآمن بما فيه الكفاية أن تتكلم ولن يكون كذلك أبداً ولكن الشيء الذي يجب أن تضعه في اعتبارك هو أنه أقل أماناً بكثير ألا تتكلم"
— Jordan Peterson
Simplified Meaning:
When someone is worried about talking about something important, they might feel scared of the consequences. It's never completely safe to speak out because there could be backlash or conflict. However, staying silent can actually be more harmful. For example, if someone witnesses bullying at school and they don't say anything, the bullying might continue or get worse. Speaking up, while risky, can help stop the problem and protect others. In life, it’s important to weigh the risks of speaking out against the risks of staying silent. Speaking out can bring about positive changes even though it's uncomfortable at the moment. Silence may seem like the safer choice, but it often allows problems to grow worse.
