J. K. Rowling.

The power of imagination: A power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.

A gay wizard? Haha. She's witty, don't you agree? The best part that captivated me was when she talked bits of Amnesty International - a new thing to me, made known only after I watched the short vid regarding the power of words. Reminiscing her memories years back then when she worked at the African Research Department of Amnesty International and the cruel revelation of the damned fate that had been savagely inflicted upon those who had been blank-point rebuking against their governments, feeling utterly frustrated with the very disgusted fact that up there all of those inept political neophytes had maneuvered their own countries not to the road of salvation, but to a disastrous black hole. Sadly to say, this sounds very familiar to our ears, no?

The people who had impudently retaliated - the ones that had chosen not to be oblivious of the void of the credibility, integrity, moral values in the hoity-toity elitists' leadership stepped up front and howled 'This is not right!' - they all had been mercilessly captured, tortured, jailed. For some, they suffered brain damage as the aftermath of the continuous brutal tortures by the Big Brothers who had tried to veil their sins, so as to maintain power, even if it means they had to cascade into such debase ways. The saddest, excruciating part would be when Rowling told us the story of a victim's mom that had been ceased, and executed as a result of his retaliation. 

Under such oppressive governing power, the people have to confine their voice and thoughts, for giving voice to their thoughts is proven hostile. The sadists silenced the people by threatening not just their own lives, the families too. Human rights have been stepped on, buried deep under the ground, forgotten. Gah, all this just helplessly make me think of the one-handed tomyam seller terrorist story. Hmm.

If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice, if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless, if you retain the ability to imagine yourselves into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped to change. We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.

I salute you, Rowling.
