Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright.
We're letting our own light shine.

but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,

whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship,

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought

and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.
