You, Me and the World

You and I are among the priveledged few. Let us not forget this and take advantage of all the privileges and opportunities that we are granted, just based on the fact that we were born at the right place at the right time. Let us not take that for granted. Let us not forget the past. We have a responsibility to those that do not have these possibilities, the poor, the oppressed, the exploited and violated. We must not allow them to be invisible and unheard. We have a responsibility to keep the discussion alive, so that we are not implicitly justifying injustice. We (collective human kind) must learn from the past and so that we don't keep repeating history relentlessly into the future. I have hope, that our generation is more aware, and that we take on the responsibility to magnify that awareness so that it may be transformed into action and our world can really be a different place in the future. For those of us which the current system allows to take action in whichever way, shape or form, this is our lifegoal. Life itself deserves our empathy and compassion because every living being has the same right to enjoy life on earth. However small or large, you can make a difference, today.
