Balance not for the faint of heart! Do you have it???

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. 



RIGHT------
The defintion for a right as a noun
.....a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way.
"she had every right to be angry"
synonyms:entitlementprerogativeprivilegeadvantageduebirthrightliberty
"you have the right to say no ( goggle)


 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---
The definition of responsibility as a noun--------
a moral obligation to behave correctly toward or in respect of.
"individuals have a responsibility to control personal behavior"
synonyms:trustworthiness, common sensesensematurity, reliability, dependability
"let's show some social responsibility"(goggle)

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----
offset or compare the value of (one thing) with another.
"the cost of obtaining such information needs to be balanced against its benefits"
synonyms:weigh, weigh up, compareevaluateconsiderassessappraisejudge
"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.
