Did you try reading that question for the second time? Could you read any meaning to it?
It is true that many are voiceless in the society today but the question is: who took their voices?
The voiceless are of two categories— the silent and the silenced.
There are people who have intentionally decided to be quiet and not speak up— the silent.
Also, there are people who have been forced by people or circumstances to remain dumb as long as they live— the silenced.
Have you been silent or you have been silenced?
You could be silent because you feel you do not have what it takes to impact lives or inspire people. You think you are not good enough and cannot fit in.
You could have been silenced by people, people who feel your achievement would be a threat to their already existing height of attainment. You could have been silenced by your condition of birth or maybe your financial capability.
Whichever category you belong to, you need to summon the courage to let your voice be heard by the world.
To the silent, crawl out of your shell;
To the silenced, break free!
