Taking sides

During the PAR training programme, an interesting question that plagued my mind, as it did some others too, is this:

If we are to take sides with the weakest and be biased about our whole attitude (if not of our procedure), then there may come a point wherein the group which we have been standing for, becomes one of the groups on the forefront and another is now the last.  What then? 

Another form of asking the same question would be

Why not be impartial and strive for equal growth, especially of the marginalized?  Why should we take sides at all?  

Prof. Manti was clear and direct in his answer: The moment we see that there is someone who is marginalised we take his/her side! That's it... that's what PAR is all about.  To talk of equality for all, at all times is living in an utopia.
