"Negatives cannot cast out negatives. Fear will never rid the world of fear. We must begin to base our actions solely on what we know to be right, not on expediency."

— James E. Bristol

#MLK #Apathy #Complacency #PositiveAction

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and postive action.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

#Neutrality is often associated with #passiveattitude, while #socialjustice is tied with #positiveaction. However, different reasons may stay behind a position of neutrality. #SimoneWeil's #impersonaljustice concept allows for a more accurate definition of #socialjustice. It conciliates the perceived contradiction between #neutrality and the aspiration of #scientists and #librariesprofessionals to #actforchange
