Freedom has become an essential commodity in our everyday lives. In different ways, we have protested for our freedom. No more violence! Let there be freedom!

Yesterday is gone, but many are still haunted by their past. It's time to move on, to set the pace for the future.

This episode is dedicated to all those who continually fight for justice, equality and fairness in our societies. It is dedicated to all those who are oppressed, rejected and ignored by those intoxicated by power. It is dedicated to all our brothers and sisters in different parts of the world who suffer from prejudice, discrimination, and racism. It is dedicated to the freedom fighters who yearn for a world that is receptive, where they wouldn't have to change their skin colour, or their identity, in order to be accepted. It is for those who continually rise against all odds to be relevant, and to have their voices heard. Some have even lost their lives while fighting for justice, in order to oppose man's inhumanity to man. To all of you who belong to these categories, you have earned our respect.

Every person on earth has a distinct personality. We are unique from every other person. The only way we can be distinguished is if we are excellent in what we do. We have to act on our strengths, and dare to be different. We should focus on being better, and stop living in other people's shadows.

We are all guilty of blaming our country for being the way it is. We are the country. We should change ourselves to see change in our country. Until we stop blaming and start making amends, nothing is ever gonna change!

The Matthew Effect has already begun to take effect in different societies, to different races. The rich continue to get richer, and the poor poorer. Perhaps, there is something the rich do that the poor do not. The gap between these two extremes is not shortening, but getting wider. And what are the poor doing about it? These persons who have been indoctrinated into believing that they are poor, resort to crimes and engage in all manner of protests/civil disobedience. The only fruit they produce is hate. They do not understand that a poor person even in a rich country, will be poor, for the problem resides not in the location, but in the individual. The rich continue to be far from reach, while the poor complain of being ignored.

The power of observation cannot be underemphasized. It is more impactful when we act on our observation. We neglect the basic essence of life. In this episode, we will understand that humanity is all about being humane.
