What about the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
What about the right to peacefully assemble and protest grievances..not be teargassed rubber bulleted beaten?
It always amazes me to hear people gripe and complain about how certain people's “rights” are being abused or denied, while at the same time their very actions are violating other people’s rights.
Person 1 – “It’s my right to protest by blocking traffic!”
Person 2 – “But it’s my right to be able to use public roads so I can get to work on time so I can get paid so I can feed my family”.
Tell me, whose rights are more important, person 1 or person 2?
People scream and shout about getting their “rights” while not giving a crap about other people's rights.
“It’s my right not to wear a mask!”
Translation – it’s my right to potentially cause harm to others.
Do they even realize what they’re actually saying?
Many times, they attempt to justify their foolishness by making up “facts” or jumping on a bandwagon without checking to see if what that bandwagon is claiming is accurate –
“Wearing masks causes cancer!”
Having rights is one thing, but knowing when and when not to exercise them takes wisdom. Hurting others just so one can have their “rights” nearly always ends in disaster. Sometimes one ends up losing more than they gained.
