The term human rights has never been much heatedly discussed until Second World War. After, the genocide, the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and oppression, the world felt that a sense of basic rights and justice must be structured.

Hence, the creation of human rights.

I am not against the idea of human rights, neither am I a big fan of it because I believe that nobody should feel about a political agenda so passionately. When a person gets too passionate, it becomes a weak spot, and when manipulated, the whole body crumbles.

I do agree that, human rights are not solely a political agenda as it comprises other law related aspects such as justice, fairness and such topic, but here is the real deal-

Where is the limit? To what extent is freedom good for the people? Who decides that such amount is required by all countries?

From what I have gathered, who decides on these matters are by the "pioneers" of human rights, such as the UN, America, some part of the EU and . Anywhere else in the world, human rights lax behind, and these governments are deemed as "unfair" and plain "cruel".

Killing and stripping another person's life has always been considered inhuman and unfair, without a doubt. But still who am I to decide this? Matters such as laws, rights, morality are all subjects that have a wide grey area that no one can truly be passionate about one thing and discard other ideologies.

If everyone is so passionate about human rights, then why do they still believe that guys like Fritzl should be castrated, murdered, and be ass raped?

Just because has done something inhumane? If you believe it to be so, then whatever happened to your stand that all humans deserve the right to live and have a fair shair of rights to be preserved?

If you think all human deserve basic human right, then it has got be shared among the bad and the good ones.

It's called level playing game and thats basic human rights. Sometimes, I dont even think there is such thing as "level playing game".

Oppression.

I never knew how oppression feels like until now.

"You don't know how it feels like to be oppressed. You work so hard and strive for the best, but it is so frustrating to have a barrier that hinders you from achieving it", as Terri once said to me earlier last year.

I have never felt this bite of injustice, the feeling of being treated unfairly, or the feeling of not getting the treatment that you truly deserve.

Some oppression can be avoided but some can't when it happens in your own family or country.

It is frustrating and inconsolable.

The more I think about it, the more I deem myself to be impatient, greedy or just plain selfish for getting mad at the situation.

Am i or am i not selfish for getting mad?
