"First, they demanded my respect, and I gave it to them because I thought it was just good manners.
Then, they demanded discipline, and I gave it to them because everyone else was doing the same thing.
Then, they demanded my obedience, and I followed just as I followed my parents.
Finally, they demanded my silence, and I kept quiet because I didn't want the consequences.
Before I knew it, I had nothing else left. They had already taken everything from me."
(Inspired by Martin Niemoller)
