And yet morality is not a constant, it is not fixed but an evolving concept.

Can one discuss about Human Rights and not talk about morals and ethics?

And yet morality is not a constant, it is not fixed but an evolving concept.

It might be easy to set some ground rules

All People Should Be Treated As Equals

and that

Each Person’s Freedom Ends Where The Next Person’s Freedom Starts.

Simple, isn’t it?

Yet, those who have not experienced injustice

and physical or verbal abuse

should consider themselves privileged.

In the television adaptation of “Good Omens” by Neil Gaiman, an angel and a demon are chatting casually near the crucifixion of Christ. The demon asks “what did he do?” and the angel replies “he told them to be nice to each other”. “Oh, tough one” the demon answers. There is a great truth there. We, humans, throughout our whole history, repeatedly fail to that simple thing: to be nice to each other.
