Say "NO!" to what?!

Protest is said to be risky. Well, it's still be upon on how it is being done—violent or non-violent—both still imprint impact to our society irrespective of its objective.

This is not like what I always see on television nor that of I always hear that somebody, and even a number of people, die.  This is not what I, sometimes, try to imagine that I palpably raising and waving protest placards and shouting like “No to RH Bill… No to Divorce Bill…” This is actual and my first time indeed to protest, to peacefully rally for truth. This is just our activity in Values Education but honestly, after settling the venture, I came out to a bundle of questions and realizations. Yes it may be unrealistic because we didn't reach hundred heads and we just had done it on our campus but it was really an indelible experience that until now, it makes me think if I will do the same thing again or just better take pictures of it.



It was approaching 12pm when we aligned to two opposite lines along our corridor. We were all wearing our school uniforms. We had our bond papers (as our placards) in which different slogans are written on it. All of it were something to do with "truth". I felt excited to ramp our placards around the campus and it tickled more my impulse to protest.

We started our journey. Unexpected it was, I perceived shame after witnessing the disappointed faces of teachers and students who seriously discussing their lessons. Yes, we disturbed them. They are all looking at us like they almost want to say "stop!" 

By then I realized, I'd better pray and write than to do such things.
