Excited to the gifts that we are to receive,  food that we would be eating, and of course to  the dress that we would be  wearing. The atmosphere are surrounded with positive emotions.

   We were all created equally, meant to live our life fair. Man, women, gays, bisexuals, must be treated the same without unfairness or any  injustices.          Discrimination, humiliation, abuses, violence - the world is full of these. The  silent cries of agony, never ending pains, wound that doesn't stop from bleeding, the bruised that are hidden in the sleeves. Yes, even in our time now there  are  still these brutal acts. Don't we know the effects of these to the others?, maybe no? so there are still people doing it, or maybe yes? but we are just being selfish, self-centered, the feelings of others doesn't matter anymore or simply you are just being  a monster.      Let us open our eyes now, don't be afraid to fight for  our rights. No one can stamp, belittle, downgrade anyone. Everyone has a slot in this world, has a role that must fulfill and a hole that must fill.         ...
