We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

The danger of indifference...
One of the worst forms of indifference is when it is practiced by people with
the power to change the world. The people with the power to change the
world have a higher level of accountability to take a stand for what is right
and fight against the suffering of others.
Indifference is like a cancer that grows from cell-to-cell, person-to-person,
city-to-city, country-to-country.
We are morally obligated to “respect the otherness in others.” We are duty bound
to help children who fall to the ground, regardless of their race, religion, culture,
or ethnic background. Any suffering inflicted by ourself or others is immoral.
God is not indifferent, how can we be? The humanity of human beings can transcend all...

First_they_came...
They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."
- Martin Niemöller 1892–1984
