Human Bill of Rights

Each of you was blessed when given life. You have basic human rights, which belong to every person. You are not selfish or wrong for expressing and exercising your rights. In order for you to turn destructive patterns of abuse into a healthy lifestyle, you must understand and accept your rights. When acceptance occurs, a change will occur and so will a renewal of self.
