Things worth fighting for

All over the world, countries, communities, organizations, cults and people are fighting for issues ranging from Nuclear Weapons, piece of land, religious beliefs, wealth, power and the list goes on. Most of these issues might look petty when we see some of the extreme situations prevailing in the world in different regions. For instance, the penury which peaks in parts of Africa and Asia, the intolerance in many countries where innocent people are murdered for not following the conservative beliefs, the violation of human rights to an extent that can appall even the toughest men, children not being educated or being misled at an age when they are incapable of deliberating right and wrong, people dying because of the lack of medical facilities and basic hygiene. Some of the things really worth fighting for and history has remarkable examples for these:
-Freedom: Every human is born with this right, although not all of them live it. Some are unfortunate to be born in territories where due to the political or civil conditions they are denied this right.
-Education: Nothing more to say about this, education promotes rationality and survival in the world.
-Live without fear: Every human should be able to live without fear from another human or group, irrespective of his religious , traditional, scientific beliefs.

Its a shame that not every person living on this planet gets to enjoy these basic rights, and we are quite fortunate to be born or living at a place where we are enjoying much more than these basic rights.
