About This Newsletter “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” United Nations, Universal Declaration of Human Rights “The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.” John F. Kennedy "It is absolutely clear that we need to regain the universality of human rights, the indivisibility of human rights, and we need to find a new energy that motivates young people around the world." Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Letter From the Editor I contemplate the 2022 Human Rights Day theme, Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All, knowing that we still have a long way to go before it is achieved. Despite having a long way to go before achieving human rights for all humanity, I believe it will eventually be accomplished. Hopefully, it will be accomplished by the end of the twenty-first century. In his state of the union address in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt listed four freedoms that are the rights of every human being on the planet. One of these freedoms was everyone's right to practice their chosen religion. Another freedom was speech, which many people today enjoy. The other two freedoms concerned being free of fear and want. None of these human rights have, as yet, been universally accomplished. Twenty-twenty-three will be the seventy-fifth anniversary of the UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights). The question arises: what can the individual do to celebrate this milestone? It seems almost impossible for one individual to do anything to help. In this case, appearances are deceiving. When working in unity with other individuals, one person can do a great deal to help human rights along. What do you think? Do you have a story or poem about this subject? How would you celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the UDHR? Please submit your comments or stories to the news letter. The deadline for my next newsletter is Thursday, January 5, 2023.

Activities, Groups, and Contests Feedback "Spiritual Newsletter (November 16, 2022)"  NaNoNette  writes: I discovered your newsletter on the newsfeed as I don't subscribe to the Spiritual newsletter. This time, I found it was worth the read as it was relevant to anyone who wants to think about gratitude without any dogma attached to it. Have you looked into "Invalid Item" ? The group is not particularly "active" in the sense that it does things, but it's there and might be a good starting point for those who want to think a little harder about gratitude practices and use Writing.Com as a tracking, blogging, or just thought-exchange platform.depthwriter  writes: I think it's a great idea for everyone to do a grateful challenge. So many people talk about everything that's wrong in their life, or focus on what they don't have, (I'm guilty of this) that they forget to look at everything the do have and be grateful for it. It could always be worse. |
