This essay by Terry Tempest Williams brought many thoughts to mind about how far we are willing to go for our patriotism and our faith to our religions. Williams became aware that this testing had caused cancer in many of the women in her family, however, her reactions were restricted by her religion’s beliefs. Mormon women are taught to be obedient and keep their opinions to themselves, but if obedience means paying the price of death to you and your family, is it worth it to keep your opinions to yourself?
Keeping quiet will ultimately take our lives and the lives of generations to come. Speaking may cause trouble now, but will change people forever.
