There comes a moment in every person's life when he can no longer say, "This is not my problem." The youth of this country are showing us the way. We cannot afford to stand by as mere spectators. If we believe in something, if we hold strong convictions, we must have the courage to stand up and be counted. All of us have seen what is happening around us. What was once distant has now become our problem, it has become my problem. We must step out of the comfort of our drawing rooms and offer our support. Young and old, even those who are unable to venture out, must stand in solidarity with the youth. Everyone has a part to play as Milton so beautifully says in his poem: 'On His Blindness' : "They also serve who only stand and wait."
