I have learned that the consistent
abuse of ones rights
lead to a false sense of self entitlement.
This entitlement leads to
a road that is full of
jealousy and bitterness.
These feelings are projected on others.
They also produce self loathing
which is a breeding ground for
other selfish behaviors.
These selfish feelings
then push the person into
making some very destructive decisions.
Finally these decisions will
cloud the mind, heart and ones soul.
Until all one sees is his/ her own rights
and no one else's.
Until all one sees is the movement
or cause that is heading the
march of ones rights.
This is done with no regard to
the affect on others.

As a human and a citizen of
this earth, I have certain rights.
I am aware that I may have some more
rights than others outside of the United States.
I also know that with my rights come
responsibilities as well.
RESPONSIBILITIES---

a moral obligation to behave correctly toward or in respect of.
"individuals have a responsibility to control personal behavior"

I know that I may have rights
however, carrying out those rights to the extreme
is not in my best interest.
I have the right to eat and to drink anything I want.
I can choose to take any drug I want to my body.
With my continual misuse of my rights
I could end up dead or causing
harm to innocent by standers.
I can also use my rights
to push my own agenda and cause.
I need to remember that
with my rights there is also
some responsibilities.
I need to remember that
my decisions affect others
rights and responsibilities as well.
I need to remember that
my rights do not trump
others rights.
BALANCE----

"the cost of obtaining such information needs to be balanced against its benefits"
| synonyms: | weigh, weigh up, compare, evaluate, consider, assess, appraise, judge
"you need to balance cost against benefit"
|
YOU NEED TO BALANCE COST AGAINST BENEFIT
What is the cost of my rights???
Is it worth the broken heart of another?
Is it worth the reputation of another?
Is it worth the pushing my agenda?
Is it worth the negative affects?
Who said that I am worth more than any other??????
I know and I believe that we all
have rights and we all have
responsibilities for those.
I want to be a good citizen.
I want to make sure that
I have balance of my rights and responsibilities!
I want to teach others to have balance.
I have thought about balance for awhile now.
I have thought about it and pondered
why it is such a hard task to complete?
Why?!?!?!
Why?!?!?!
I tend to see my self lose
balance when I lose
my love for others.
When I love my rights and responsibilities
more than others.
I lose balance when
I choose to allow my self to trump
all others rights.
I need to remember that everyone's
rights matter not just my
family members.
Every one is a soul.
Every one matters.
I believe if we all remember these facts,
IT will cut down on the misuse of
ones rights!
I will make sure that I consider
the cost of my right and
the benefit it brings to me and others.
I will hope that others would
do the same.
Look at motives, intend and thoughts
that go into our rights and responsibilities
and most of all think of balance.
