Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to Sizes Team, You're listening to The Daily Game,
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from Marcus Aurelius, who was
Speaker 1: a famous Roman emperor and beloved by the public during
Speaker 1: his reign. According to some historians, his greatest accomplishment as
Speaker 1: emperor was the ability to hold the Roman Empire together
Speaker 1: through the empire's first true pandemic, the Parthian War, and
Speaker 1: the dramatic wars. Marcus said, you can commit injustice by
Speaker 1: doing nothing. This kind of falls true with what's going
Speaker 1: on in the world today, all the hatred, the racism,
Speaker 1: the violence. At some point, just not doing anything is injustice.
Speaker 1: It's like you have to stand up to it. And
Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, I say, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's small things. You know, if you got a
Speaker 1: friend who's racist and they say something racist in front
Speaker 1: of you, check them, say come on, that's how you
Speaker 1: really feel, and let them know. That little bit goes
Speaker 1: a long way in life. But if you have a
Speaker 1: friend or somebody around you that's committing these crimes, doing
Speaker 1: these things, and you're not doing anything about it. Then
Speaker 1: you're complacent and you are committing an injustice just by
Speaker 1: doing nothing. I mean, even if if it's simple as
Speaker 1: having a friend who's a hater and it is hating
Speaker 1: on somebody just for no reason. In the middle of
Speaker 1: the conversation, you just say, why are you hating? Man, Like,
Speaker 1: why are you talking shit about this person? You don't
Speaker 1: know this person. Address it, and you're doing something. But
Speaker 1: if you don't do anything, you're committing an injustice. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe you're different, maybe you're gonna play it this way.
Speaker 1: I see them hate, I know their hater, and I
Speaker 1: just identify them as a hater, so I don't really
Speaker 1: take any of their advice or listen to them anyways,
Speaker 1: because I see what type of person they are. Well,
Speaker 1: in that sense, you are still doing something because you're
Speaker 1: at least becoming aware of this person's personality. But a
Speaker 1: lot of times we need people to do a little
Speaker 1: bit more. Say something. I'm on Twitter, I might say
Speaker 1: this or I might say that, and people are like, wow,
Speaker 1: you're willing to stand for something, you know. I think
Speaker 1: somebody said if you don't stand for something, you'll fall
Speaker 1: for anything. I think that was Malcolm X. But yes,
Speaker 1: not doing anything is in self an injustice. If you
Speaker 1: see somebody you know in need and you do not
Speaker 1: help them, that in itself is an injustice. So we
Speaker 1: do need to stand up and do things when we
Speaker 1: think see things that are going wrong in the world
Speaker 1: will racial and just this feels more present, you know,
Speaker 1: the past few years. It's a good reminder just to
Speaker 1: let people know that standing up is a good thing.
Speaker 1: That's the way you as a person can fight, you know,
Speaker 1: and doing nothing in itself is an injustice. This has
Speaker 1: been another ice cold fact from me iced Tea. Listening
Speaker 1: again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass
Speaker 1: till then stay safe, stay smart, and say knowing that
Speaker 1: if you think you're playing it safe by keeping quiet,
Speaker 1: your silence speaks. Volumes Icey's Daily Game. It's a production
