Heroes:
Anyone and everyone who has had the courage and conviction to stand tall against those who would wish to impose themselves upon others for selfishly motivated gains. History and our nature is thus, yet we have had so many that have been brave enough to stand for the real truth, real justice, and real fairness. It is this that moves humans forward, ever forward to having a stronger understanding of who we are and what we are capable of becoming, but not for selfish desire, but for a higher consciousness. I salute every one of you, and those who will in our future who will stand and fight, learn, and teach for justice even at risk of their very lives. There is always hope.
