Not every country recognises these rights unfortunately.

Yes this is true. But every single person has the possibility to act in accordance with the first phrase of article one:

> 1. All human beings are free and equal

> All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

This is still true, even when the police and other people around you do not think the same. Every person has still the opportunity to act with dignity and expect same rights, no matter how many times they get rejected.

It is might far from an easy way. But living in freedom is never the result of going for the easyest way.

Epictetus had great arguments about freedoms, even when he grew up as a slave:

> To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; he argues that we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. However, he held that individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.
