"The simple step of the courageous individual is to not take part in the lie." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The dissident who exposed the Soviet Gulag identifies the foundational act of moral courage. In a society saturated with falsehoods—whether in politics, work, or social circles—the easiest path is silent complicity. But the courageous, and ultimately simple, step is to refuse to repeat, endorse, or pretend to believe what you know is untrue. This non-participation is a quiet but powerful form of resistance that preserves your own soul and undermines the power of the lie.
Where are you being silently complicit with a "lie" because it feels easier than speaking your truth?
