To be able to understand inequities even in terms of unalienable rights and not get angry takes unimaginable patience and optimism (which I seem to somewhat lack) and deserves respect. Bravo to compassionate activists who are calm in temperament!
Powerful quote: "It is precisely the role of human rights to identify the workings of power that keep unacceptable things as they are, and to challenge that power with a different vision of human well-being. The challenge does not have to be confrontational or angry; it can proceed softly, through dialogue and consensus. But it will always be daring because it requires us to dare to imagine a different reality, and to have the courage to call, each in his or her own voice and with his or her own means, for the rearrangements of power necessary to change the unacceptable."
