What
is happening in our world today! I don't know about you but I am truly
shocked and horrified to know of the things that are happening around
us. And more importantly how millions of people just try to ignore it,
just try to brush it aside and pretend it's not happening. Maybe they
afraid to speak up, maybe they think that if they don't think or talk
about it it might just all go away or maybe they just think that there
is nothing they can do about it to help. Not true! In your own way, no
matter how big or small YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! This is why I have
decided to add this section to my homepage. It is my way of trying to
do something to help. I know it isn't much but if I can get at least one
other person to open their eyes and heart and in some way speak up or
do something I know this page has all been worthwhile. Each person knows
their own capabilities, all I am asking is to look into your heart and
do what you can in whatever way possible to you to try and help!
I am a sole mother and I know a little about suffering. I never know what
tommorrow has in store for me. Yes, it gets me down at times and even
though most times than not it's a struggle at least I know at the moment
we have a roof over our heads, we have clothes to wear, we are warm when
it's cold and raining outside, we have food to feed ourselves. By opening
up my eyes and seeing what's happening in the world today I've come to
realize that I'm very fortunate and really have no idea what real pain
and suffering is!
Everyone
has the right to life, liberty and the security of their person!
No one should ever be subjected to such atrocities as torture or cruel,
inhumane,
degrading treatment as the likes of what is happening in the world today!

A
few of the things going on in "Our World" today!
HUMAN
RIGHTS VIOLATION
It
is the human right of every woman, man, youth and child to be free from
all the horrors happening in our world today! This will not happen unless
all human rights are fulfilled, then and only then will we be able to
have world wide peace!
TERRORISM
Terrorism
deserves absolute condemnation regardless of the perpetrator or the motive.
Terrorism is a horrible crime! There cannot be any justification for it!
Its perpetrators should all be brought to justice!
GENOCIDE
Acts
committed with intent to destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious
group, "ethnic cleansing". So much of it is happening in our world today!
What's wrong with these people? What gives A human being the right to
say that he is better than the other? I just can't understand this!
POVERTY
WAR & FIGHTING
TORTURE & CRUELTY
RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
MILITARISM
RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM

PART
OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
"We,
the Peoples of the United Nations, Determined to save succeeding generations
from the scourge of war, to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights,

for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression
of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace,and to bring about

Maybe
every human being in the world should make this a part
of their everyday way of living and thinking!
