I see the same fundamental concerns now that existed 20 years ago. Fights for freedom, fights for respect, and fights against social issues such as hunger and poverty are still present in our everyday lives. We see injustices in countries like Afghanistan when we see women being abused and demoralized. We look to secure religious and social freedom for individuals oppressed by their governments or by political rebels. Now I think not.
Humanity relies on change.
Humanity relies on the ability of people to decipher between right and wrong, moral and amoral, just and unjust. Humanity relies on the desire and ability of its guardians, on us, to care, preserve, and flourish in the face of adversity. We are failing. Man-made pollutants threaten our very health on this planet. Persecution threatens the diversity that makes us each so unique.
