The article is about HUMAN RIGHTS. THAT MEANS IT'S A PRECONDITION TO CARE AS WELL AS TO THINK.

Everything I read was human rights alright!! but it's sad the fact that many people have lost their lives trying to get what it was theirs by nature...freedom ..education...health...
It's sad the fact that we had to turn our rights into rules in order to obey them...We all should have them in our hearts and follow them willingly, in our everyday life with love and respect...
