An injustice was about to occur. Mariam was experiencing peer pressure to remain silent about the impending event. Mariam felt scared.
She told the Master, "I don't want to get involved."
Rabbi Jesus replied, "By not getting involved, you are involved."
All it takes for evil to flourish in the world is for good people to remain silent.
However, sometimes to speak out robustly may bring harm to self or others. In such instances, both wisdom and prudence is required. Prayer will light the way, as will seeking advice from a counsellor known for integrity and appropriate discretion. Something can always be done. Sometimes it needs to be done with caution and diplomacy.
