There are many injustices in the world. On our home front, in the country next door, they are all around. These injustices, most of the time, feel too large for a single soul to make a difference. I recently read a blog about "Images That Changed The World?!". It reminds me of all the people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the common good. Selfless people who show that it is possible to change the world, or at least the way we view it. And it shows that we as a human race must still make major improvements.
I would just like to share a photo from the blog. It was during the Tiananmen Square protests, when the Chinese government sent in tanks to crush the protesters. Time Magazine named the "unknown rebel" one of its "100 most influential people of the 20th century" in 1998. In 2003, Life Magazine named the photo one of the "100 Photos that Changed the World". I think the photo is very powerful and inspiring, showing what one man can do against an army. It also reminds us of our freedoms we take for granted everyday. If you haven't seen it for some reason, take a look:
