Standing up for what is right always comes with a cost.
The cost of not being believed.
The cost of being abandoned.
The cost of years of set-back in life.
The cost of relentless anxious and depressive thoughts.

Staying silent over a known wrong-doing comes with a cost too.
The cost of our soul.
The cost of the human conscience.

Either we pay the price of our conscience, or we pay the price of convenient wins.

The choice, as always, is ours.
