OBLIGATIONS FIRST, NOT RIGHTS FIRST.
Since every right requires a corresponding obligation from others, why is it that we emphasize rights rather than obligations to others? Focusing on rights merely incentivizes magical thinking that rights are whatever we want them to be rather than whatever obligations we can obtain from one another in exchange. Instead of fostering the other person’s point of view, and the other person’s interests, and the interpersonal nature of rights and obligations, it emphasizes the selfishness of the individual. Its silly really. 😉
