Let us look at ourselves as human beings with dignity, values, and inalienable human rights. We are persons, not animals that see enemies and rivals all around them in the wild and fight and kill for food and survival. Most humans live by a higher standard and coexist in peace—but not all. Because we are so many and have driven a number of species to the point of extinction, respectful cooperation and helping all live with equality and justice are essential for us to live in harmony and peace.
