RE: We don’t have any rights. We have to do rights.
I believe we all have the right to do what the bloody hell we want to do (as long as nobody else gets hurt) pray to whom we want to pray and eat a natural organic diet without pesticides and gmo being forced down our throats.
I understand, my point was that even the things you're referring to are not so much rights as an abstract concept in our heads, but simply the right things to DO.
Not hurting others is the right thing to do. And of course you can pray to whom you chose, since that's not hurting anyone, hence it IS a right. But you don't HAVE it, in the sense of an abstract – hence not real – concept in your head.
We don't HAVE a right to good food. It is WRONG to use pesticides and gmo.
Not only does that way of looking at it call out the perpetrator, it also puts you out of a very passive role.
This whole "I have rights" thing only results in people "violating" those rights.
No, they're not violating any rights. They're violating Natural Law by doing something that is WRONG.
Maybe I'm too bent on wording here, I just think we should stop acting as if the stuff in our head was something REAL. It's all concepts.
Don't get me wrong: imagination is an incredibly important thing to have, because it is the basis for acting upon it and then manifesting it in reality.
But an abstract concept such as "HAVING a right" cannot be manifested in reality. DOING a right is how a right manifests in reality.
Just HAVING a right doesn't get you anywhere.
