In the world that we live in today it is essential for us as a people to affect those around in order to create a change.
We cannot simply rely on the leaders as a whole to affect change, we have to want it.

World leaders have recently decided not to take a step forward in evolution but rather a much greater step backwards. In many parts of the world evolution has been at a stand-still for too long.
From racism, homophobia, anti-feminism, poverty to childmarriage the world as it seems is a very broken place and these leaders of ours are unfortunately either promoting this or doing nothing.
This causes people to assault, persecute and even vote for parties that stand for everything but equality and most importantly mutual respect.

How many times do we have to openly speak about the fact that they are real people we are talking about? People with memories, lives, emotions and real, mind-numbing fear as a constant in their lives.
We are being taught that all that really matters is that as long as I am fine nothing else counts. I know, from experience, that it is easy to judge from afar but few would easily stare someone in the eye and say that "you deserve to be tortured, hunted down like an animal or even die because as long as I am unaffected your life is not important".
This is at least my view all in all and can you honestly say that voting for a party that is beyond question built entirely on hate is not exactly like saying that?

Every life counts and all I can really say is that in a worst case scenario you could be next and you would probably not want anyone to consider you a casualty of their own prosperity, would you?

I am not saying you or I should sacrifice ourselves, the point is that no one should and even if there is a crisis it doesn't change the fact that people shouldn't be viewed as objects. Objects that are somewhere in the distance that doesn't matter if they lived or died or even worse: hating them blindly because someone else says so... It should matter to you. They are someone's parents, children, siblings, friends.
They, we, all of us, are people just like you.

Keep in mind that one day they could turn into me.
