More From Daisaku Ikeda

Any profession should have norms around the issue you raise. and, in the words of the great economic thinker albert hirschman, we all owe a measure of loyalty to professional norms. but when the norms seem unhelpful or unproductive, one needs to speak up - to activate voice. and in the extreme, if the profession and one's colleagues seem estranged from a thoughtfully selected course of action, you need to consider the possibility of exit. of course, if you knowingly violate norms or laws, you need to be prepared to face the consequences - or to lead a revolution!

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

I think comedy directors tend to feel a need to justify the bad behavior, and i just never think that. i like bad behavior, i've always liked bad behavior, i'm a fan of bad behavior, and i don't think you have to justify bad behavior.

Human rights are something you were born with. human rights are your god-given rights. human rights are the rights that are recognized by all nations of this earth.
