Giving Up Rights Too Much

More From Rohinton Mistry

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 say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and i don't know where to begin but i want to try.

Any group or "collective," large or small, is only a number of individuals. a group can have no rights other than the rights of its individual members. in a free society, the "rights" of any group are derived from the rights of its members through their voluntary individual choice and contractual agreement, and are merely the application of these individual rights to a specific undertaking... a group, as such, has no rights.
Rights Agreement Individual Choice
Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. but what is nature? why is habit not natural? i am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.
Nature Firsts Habit
There are rights that hillary clinton doesn't like. american people have too many rights. there's too much freedom. government doesn't have enough rights, in her mind. government's too limited. the constitution limits the government way, way, way too much. "and i feel strongly that" - fake smile - "the supreme court needs to stand on the side of the american people." not on the side of the powerful corporations and the wealthy.
Powerful People Fake
When you expand the civil-rights struggle to the level of human rights, you can then take the case of the black man in this country before the nations in the un. you can take it before the general assembly. you can take uncle sam before a world court. but the only level you can do it on is the level of human rights. civil rights keeps you under his restrictions, under his jurisdiction. civil rights keeps you in his pocket.

Thinking is progress. non-thinking is stagnation of the individual, organisation and the country. thinking leads to action. knowledge without action is useless and irrelevant. knowledge with action, converts adversity into prosperity.

To my great surprise, i never heard anyone cry out in the disorder, even though they suffered in great agony. they died in silence, with no grudge, setting their teeth to bear it. all for the country!
