Life is given by God, all lives, not just human lives. All lives should be respected, nurtured and protected. Human beings do not have the right to choose who lives and who dies, who will eat and who will starve, who is safe and who is endangered, who has a roof over their heads and who is left homeless on the street, without safety or shelter, who gets cured and who is left to suffer and die, who is educated and who is left ignorant, who is privileged and who is stripped of all dignity. It is the duty of the human race to do its best for each other irrespective of race, nationality, colour, religion, education, status, or any other factor which differentiates us. We have differences so we can learn from them, so we can each bring something unique to this table of humanity. We cannot put ourselves and others in neatly labelled boxes and decide what is acceptable and not acceptable.The only things which are not acceptable are discrimination, prejudice, arrogance, ignorance, abuse, brutality and every thought, word and action that causes harm to another. It is time for the world to come together and decide on zero tolerance for anything and everything that hurts or harms another human being or any creature we share this planet with.
