In 2008, within my first year on Twitter, I encountered what I considered to be a bizarre position from someone who was ostensibly 'leftwing'. She was someone I'd met in a private online video-based community in the mid-2000s. When we joined Twitter, we all followed each other. Several of us had a discussion about the differences between blogging and journalism during which I said 'Everyone thinks they have the right to be listened to...' This was questioned by this person and I said 'Not everyone has the right to be listened to.'
According to Buddhist teachings all the happiness in the world comes from wishing others to be happy. If our mind is on others who are countless then our self centred self is forgotten we are
happy because our mind is peaceful. When I first heard this I though no bloody way.
They are horrible evil yet over time, in my case a lot of time if I can bring that mind when
facing disappointment just wish the other to be ok to be happy then a natural peace arises.
I have to admit that I have a long way to go . I lost my brown stuff the other day when I had spent
£60 quid on a taxi to a hospital only to be told they had cancelled my appointment like half an
hour before I was due to arrive.
I ended up at the bus stop chatted to a lovely lady who had bone cancer we mutually agreed
that the NHS system in Wales is deeply flawed well fucking useless.
People help each other hold out a hand facts and figures can’t quantify this
Rights do not depend on any one person's wishes, but they do depend on society as a whole. Your description of rights sounds good to me, as a US citizen born in the 20th century. If someone from another culture says, we are slaves of the Tsar and proud of being such, the list of rights might change a bit.
People (generally on the left) say health care is a right. Does that mean that the State can compel doctors and nurses to provide care?
