WEBVTT - Injustice

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>up to Sizes Team, You're listening to The Daily Game,

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from Marcus Aurelius, who was

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>a famous Roman emperor and beloved by the public during

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>his reign. According to some historians, his greatest accomplishment as

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>emperor was the ability to hold the Roman Empire together

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>through the empire's first true pandemic, the Parthian War, and

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the dramatic wars. Marcus said, you can commit injustice by

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>doing nothing. This kind of falls true with what's going

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>on in the world today, all the hatred, the racism,

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the violence. At some point, just not doing anything is injustice.

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like you have to stand up to it. And

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I tell people all the time, I say, you know,

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>like it's small things. You know, if you got a

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>friend who's racist and they say something racist in front

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of you, check them, say come on, that's how you

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>really feel, and let them know. That little bit goes

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>a long way in life. But if you have a

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>friend or somebody around you that's committing these crimes, doing

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 1>these things, and you're not doing anything about it. Then

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you're complacent and you are committing an injustice just by

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>doing nothing. I mean, even if if it's simple as

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>having a friend who's a hater and it is hating

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>on somebody just for no reason. In the middle of

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the conversation, you just say, why are you hating? Man, Like,

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>why are you talking shit about this person? You don't

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>know this person. Address it, and you're doing something. But

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>if you don't do anything, you're committing an injustice. Now,

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're different, maybe you're gonna play it this way.

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I see them hate, I know their hater, and I

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>just identify them as a hater, so I don't really

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>take any of their advice or listen to them anyways,

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>because I see what type of person they are. Well,

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>in that sense, you are still doing something because you're

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>at least becoming aware of this person's personality. But a

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of times we need people to do a little

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>bit more. Say something. I'm on Twitter, I might say

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>this or I might say that, and people are like, wow,

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you're willing to stand for something, you know. I think

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody said if you don't stand for something, you'll fall

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>for anything. I think that was Malcolm X. But yes,

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>not doing anything is in self an injustice. If you

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>see somebody you know in need and you do not

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>help them, that in itself is an injustice. So we

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>do need to stand up and do things when we

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>think see things that are going wrong in the world

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>will racial and just this feels more present, you know,

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the past few years. It's a good reminder just to

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.679
<v Speaker 1>let people know that standing up is a good thing.

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>That's the way you as a person can fight, you know,

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and doing nothing in itself is an injustice. This has

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>been another ice cold fact from me iced Tea. Listening
