Everyone is seperated by looks, sexuality, and actions. In life what a person has is their own personality which truely defines them. In "Transformation of Silence Into Language and Action" Audre Lorde she states how if you stay in your safe corner not saying a word you will be safe and fear nothing. In life you should take chances and state your opinion and let your presence be known. Which is how you should be judged by your personality which comes out with your voice.
When Audre Lorde states "I think, we fear the very visiblity without which we also cannot truly live." It made me think about how a person is more afraid of being judged then actually saying what they wanted to say. Instead of speaking out and making a difference in there own life they stayed silent. This also hurts the people around them to make them know how you feel about a certain subject and could possibly also effect a bigger impact on life with out saying what you think or feel and worrying about being judged things could possibly be way different in the whole world right now.

You make the important observation that turning silence into language and action transforms not only yourselves, but perhaps the world as well. There is more at stake than just ourselves in choosing to speak or to remain silent and in fear.
