Human Right # 1 - We Are All Born Free and Equal

"We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it."


~William Faulkner


When a child is born the most concerning thing about it is it's health. Are they in perfect shape? Like every other baby born? Two eyes , two ears, one nose, one mouth, ONE HEART. It's almost like a mandatory determination for equality. A lack of any of these, or a deformation of some sort immediately singles out the child as an unequal, a damaged good. It's amazing, that as human, from the second of our birth, that although we were born free,we are deemed to be EQUAL.


But what happens to these other babies? These equal, perfect babies. Do they remain equal? Do you require an answer to that question? Two eyes, two ears, one nose, one mouth, one heart. But DIFFERENT MINDS, DIFFERENT PEOPLE. None the same. So what is this EQUALITY we speak of? If we are free, then why do we find ourself caged to this word?


I have a friend who likes blue. I hate blue. I have a friend who HATES mint. I love mint. Do you call this equality or contradicting opinions?



EQUALITY IS THE FREEDOM TO BE DIFFERENT.



I have this age old belief that we were all placed her for a reason. It does not matter what race, what colour, shape or size we are, our differences make us equal and we weren't born to be trapped by stereotypicalization, but instead, to BREAK FREE from is.



This is our right.


You have the right, to be whoever you want to be.

You have the right, to be proud of who you are and who you want to be.

You have the right, to love and care for whoever you want, no matter what race or what gender.

You have the right, to seek for respect and equality and no one, can take your liberty away from you as long as you have done nothing wrong.


You have the right, to make this world, a better place.


This is because, you were born free and you were born EQUAL.
