60 years ago, a Universal Declaration....

60 years ago, on the 10th day of December 2008, the UN General Assembly adopted and declared the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration outlines the rights of which all human beings are inherently titled. I've read over the Declaration many times in my life and it never ceases to bring new understanding and awareness to me. Think of the many positive and needed changes weve seen in the world in the last 60 years! The world is a very different place than it was 60 years ago. Unfortunately, still 60 years after the document was adopted, there are still billions of people for whom these rights have yet to be realized.

Take a look at the video posted below, courtesy of the Human Rights Action Center. Read the many rights established in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
What do each of these mean to you?
How many of the rights are actually extended to you?
How many are not?



How much longer until we all treat each other as the lovely equals that we are?
Will it be another 60 years?
Will it be more?
It will be only as long as it takes for us to decide it to be so.
Just think, the world could wake up tomorrow and say, "Ahhh. Today, things will be different."
How amazing would that be?

In hope!
