[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4590830, member: 63706"] We agree on a lot of the problems. But you want a universal declaration of human rights? Who do you expect to enforce it? What will happen when it is violated? What happens if you are wrongfully accused of violating it? Immorality, injustice, greed, many of those things are in the eye of the beholder. Some would call you greedy for demanding things you never earned, while you call it justice saying you are taking it back. It's a fool's errand to try to eliminate everything wrong in the world, and (might I add?) the very hubris you accuse others of. To think that you know what is best for everyone else? The ultimate conceit. It is the ultimate in humility and morality to focus on fixing what is wrong with yourself. Master yourself and you will have already made the world a better place. Then you can turn your attention to those things outside of yourself that you have control over. There really is no other path. [/QUOTE]
