Ignoring the margins perpetuates harm from "summary" of In the Margins by Elena Ferrante
The refusal to acknowledge the existence of those who live on the fringes of society only serves to maintain the status quo of inequality and injustice. By turning a blind eye to the struggles and suffering of marginalized individuals, we are complicit in perpetuating their oppression and silencing their voices. When we choose to ignore the margins, we are essentially denying the humanity of those who reside there. We are denying them the basic dignity and respect that every human being deserves. By excluding them from the narrative, we are erasing their stories and experiences from the collective consciousness, further marginalizing them in the process. It is only by actively centering the perspectives and voices of those on the margins that we can begin to dismantle systems of power and privilege that perpetuate harm. By amplifying their voices and advocating for their rights, we can work towards a more just and equitable society for all. To ignore the margins is to perpetuate harm, to uphold structures of oppression that benefit the few at the expense of the many. It is a conscious choice to prioritize comfort and convenience over the well-being and dignity of those who have been pushed to the fringes of society. It is a choice that we must actively resist if we are to create a more inclusive and compassionate world for all.
