I want to address the number one problem in the world right now. People are confused about basic moral philosophy. Today I want to define what a RIGHT is.
I am having a hard time understanding why so many folks are forgetting about the importance of FREEDOM
Freedom is the condition in which human rights are respected, where freedom of choice is respected.
At what point should a human lose the ability to make their own choices? When that person violates the freedom or natural right of any other person. So, freedom means essentially do whatever you want as long as it is not harmful to others. Don’t infringe on other people's ability to seek life love and happiness and they shouldn’t be cutting at your freedom either. Its simple kindergarten rules not hitting no hurting others.
It gets so complicated because humans want to write down all these complex rules and find exceptions to everything and load everyone down with endless complications. As humans it is important that we don’t allow ourselves to get bogged down with possibilities doubts and worries. We have to concentrate on the here and now and the people we deal with on an everyday basis. Imagine if someone you deal with every day, let's say your waitress or your mailman, all of the sudden demanded that you give them a percentage of your money or demanded that you dress all in pink or that you give them everything in your pockets. Any of those demands would be ridiculous. Most people don’t demand that those around them do anything. Most of us understand naturally that it's not OK to force people to do things.
A right as defined by modern online dictionaries pretty much says, “freedom, or doing what is good and proper”
I have always been inspired by Mark Passio’s simple yet eloquent way of saying it, “A right is an action that does not cause harm”
In the movie aliens, the face-hugger brings a familiar concept, the covering of the face and the allegorical theme of losing choice or losing control, becoming a slave to a parasitic alien.
