Whether gold is
found in Ghana, Sierra Leone, or the United States, its value remains the same.
Its location does not determine its value. Humanity has inestimable worth
regardless of geographical location and/or national existence. The entire human
race is made up of particles of gold equal in value and deserving of honor and
a protected life.
Hidden in each
individual is potential waiting to be released as contribution to its society,
culture, and nation. That potential is dependent on access to education, equal
opportunity, and a culture of honor to create an atmosphere for it to flourish.
When nations suppress human potential of its citizens by restricting freedoms
and denying access to good education, they are impeding the progress of their
country by imprisoning the potential contained within their people.
Gold does not
appear automatically. It must be mined and excavated. Governments must
understand their role in protecting their citizen’s freedoms and put forth
effort in all areas to insure the golden potential of its people are being
mined and processed into contribution.
When human
rights are violated, then the potential of another Bill Gates, scientific
breakthrough, medical cure, etc., are terminated and the gold of their
contribution will forever remained buried beneath the societal earth of that
nation.
Let’s have
freedom for all people and have respect for each other’s human rights creating
the perpetual cultural atmosphere of honor where everyone can contribute making
(our) nation great and giving it a voice in the world.
“Treat
others the way you want to be treated”
