'Demands of Dignity' by Ed Aurelio C. Reyes, 2008
EXCERPTS: -o0o- "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed Dec. 10, 1948, has been a cause of celebration, and the Treaty of Paris, signed Dec. 10, 1898, has been a cause for indignation... on the part of ALL HUMANS." -o0o- "The HUMANITY of ALL is ONE! Assaults on the Rights of a human anywhere are assaults on the rights of all humans everywhere." -o0o- "The current Human Evolutionary Imperative is attaining Synergy in Conscious Oneness." -o0o- "We demand apologies not to uphold our national dignity, but to give the offenders the opportunity to uphold theirs." -o0o- "Demands for Human Dignity come from within Human Dignity itself." -o0o- "We seek redress, closure and healing... Since the governments involved and the international organizations that depend on the consent of governments cannot be expected to support these calls or accord them any serious attention, we are calling upon the citizens of these and other nations, on the citizenry of the world." -o0o- "One of the factors underpinning the habit of trying to hide or mangle the truth is the illusion that facts hidden well enough as secrets can stay as such forever. Another is the illusion that you can harm your fellow-humans without harming yourself." -o0o- "Inevitably, eventually and ultimately, all wrongs cry out to be fully acknowledged, regretted, and set aright. Your peace of mind now and in the future demands it. Your very dignity demands it." -o0o- "Smile for Synergy! Seek One Humanity!"

WELCOME
to the On-Line
Edition of DEMANDS
OF DIGNITY FROM
THIS OPENING PAGE, you can leap-frog to any part of this on-line book.
Or you can stay right on this page and just read the left-side column to
get familiar with the general contents and how these are organized in
this presentation.
Then you may decide to familiarize yourself first with the Introductions
and the Bibliography (with active links that blue dots or blue-font titles
above) or plunge right into the material by clicking now at the blue-dot
link of Chapter 1 (we recommend you read the brief Author's Intro first).
At any point of your reading time, you may wish to share this material
with at least some of your friends in your country or location or anywhere
else in the world which you can do by e-mailing to them this URL
(http://demandsofdignity.8m.net), but before you actually do that, as we
urgently ask you to, please click at the link, "access arrange- ments"
under the "Announcements" on the near-right column.
We do not expect you to enjoy reading this book, because even as the first
chapter rejoices at the articulations of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights (of December 10, 1948) as "a cause for
celebration," it also treats in detail the premises, circumstances,
consequences and continuing implications of the Treaty of Paris
(of December 10, 1898) as "a cause of indignation" among all
humans conscious of human dignity.
We welcome all suggestions to improve the organization and presentation of
this web site for better user-friendliness. But more than that, we seek
for comments that would start the discourse ball rolling on the topics of
this e-Book and continually enrich it with contributed facts and views.
Does the Filipino nation, for example, have reason to demand apologies
from Spain and the United States for the sale that was the Treaty of Paris
of "Four score and thirty years ago..."?
