Let’s not forget the evolution of human rights is still in its formative stages. We have yet learned to understand the sacred value of each individual human voice. When one of us is enslaved, then all of us are enslaved as well. Let us, as human beings, become freedom in action.
As a collective of human beings, we too, are all affected when another human being steps into action. For every action, there is a reaction.
Women have historically been denied their basic human rights, their rights to have freedom of movement, employment, and control of their bodies and voices. The lack of freedom has impacted our entire society because women are the mothers, the sisters, aunts, and grandmothers. Their emotional and physical well being has an important contribution of how we perceive and receive the art of loving., how we give love and how to maintain the art of loving.
Because of the residual reactions to the “Me Too” we are seeing the treatment of women in the workplace changing. Also, we are learning it does not only affect women but men as well. It has become, in hindsight, an obvious conclusion, it is a “We Too” movement long overdue. We are all in the midst of an evolution of human rights, both for men and women. The bottom line is, the abuse of power by men in power is a problematic reality that needs to change.
Not only are women being objectified, but men also fall victim to the problem of sexual abuse of power. The abuse is an equal opportunity employer. The effect of the abuse can only stand to weaken the bodies and spirits of the victims and in turn, begin to weaken the society as a whole.
Because, we as men, are at the top of the food chain of power, it is our responsibility to change the flavor of the water we are drinking. Respect of the human body and spirit is a must if we are to achieve a whole, happy and healed society. We must learn to continue to drink clean and clear water, in order for our human garden to grow in healthy assurance. Tainted water only creates broken lives, hearts, and minds when fed to our human garden.
Women’s right to vote was passed in the 1920’s. The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. LGBT rights are being debated and equated, and have been in process since the 1960’s. Still, we are trying to figure out how to share power and create equality. We are all in between a rock and a hard place in our struggle for survival. We are not thriving, even with millions of dollars in some of our pockets. We are living in a poverty mindset.
We are living in a state of lack and never having enough. Our fear of never having enough has caused us to become greedy for money and power for select individuals. The same greed allows us to be able to subjugate another human in order to secure one’s personal comfort. That is when our ‘we” becomes a “me.” The balance of power falls out of alignment and someone gets left behind because someone’s rights are not being honored.
After a period of time, those who have subjugated begin to subjugate others. A habit of living and becoming the culture of the moment, and then becomes part of our history. We begin to create a false narrative of beliefs that justifies one segment of the society is worth more than the other.
When we are living in the positive, every person, no matter what color or sexual identity they are is utilized there is an automatic win-win, the person in question is honored and so is the society, It becomes a win for the “we” in all of us.
When we unite in purposeful living, we honor life and its evolutionary process. If we allow the process to mature and value each individual for their inherent gifts, we honor the society and the planet. Human rights are the divine rights of the human species to honor the individual rights in order to support the sacredness of all human life.
We are one people and one human race. We must remember who we are, so we can be who we are in the divine scheme of things.
