Whether individually or collectively, mankind and oppressed peoples have striven for freedom on this planet. Many countries have enshrined "A Human Bill Of Rights" into their constitutions.
Fortunately, many battles on these issues were won by people like Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King (above), Lach Walesa, and the Germans who brought down "The Berlin Wall".
In any fight for freedom, individuals have to be willing to sacrifice their lives for their cause. Like Patrick Henry said "Give my liberty or give me death".
Protestors in Egypt, Libya, and Behrain were and still are prepared to give their life for freedom.
Most people on the Earth want to change their condition for the better, not only for themselves and their families, but for future generations to come.
Pray for those who want democracy and freedom from oppressive governments.
St Johns
