When my thoughts filter down to "It's the human condition", I can just hear scientists pooh-poohing my 'evidence base'. It has become crucial in 21st century World to have verifiable answers to everything, but the necessity of burden of proof means we can still fall foul of self-made rules when we conjure them into boxes whether they fit or not.
I guess the tension between my rights and your rights will always be the sticking point. Can there ever be such as thing as (unqualified) freedom? What happens when mine meets yours head on? It's the sort of encounter that brings on and perpetuates The Other as the undesirable, the problem.
So.
How do we as a civil society get to the point of truly valuing each individual for exactly what she or he is?
I think it is a tricky question. But one that has a first solution in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Surely.
