If you allow anyone who supports freedom and the equality of all humans to be destroyed, beaten down or ridiculed, you begin to chip away at the part of yourself that can fight for what is right. Even standing to the side just once is enough to pull you from the ranks of free-thinkers and deposit you into the herds of mindless sheep led around by whatever shepherd has control.
What do I mean when I talk about the equality of humanity? Well think on this; There can never be equality among humans so long as any one group hoards information. Knowledge is power, and we, whether we can see it or not, are enslaved by those who have the most information.
Humanity can never be truly free until knowledge is there for the taking. Secrets do not protect, secrets enable. They give power to those who hold them, a power that will not be used to benefit anyone but those that wield it. Governments are supposed to work for the people, not keep them in the dark and feed them lies.
Stand up for what is right – if only to acknowledge that something is wrong. Take the leap and stand up in front the masses who can’t see beyond the nose on their face. Let them see that someone is not afraid to say what they believe.
I believe that this is wrong.
Bravo Theriaka…well spoken!
I too abhor torture. There is NO excuse for it….As a People we MUST claim our Humanity and hold it close to our hearts…otherwise we become something else entirely…something less…something…you don’t even want to envision….so I Stand Tall beside you, that makes two….therefore we have changed the world…imagine a bunch of us standing and shining tall…the vision is literally blinding…It is also very empowering …Blessing
