Day #3 of ‘Rights Weeks’ at The Napkin Dad Daily
I didn’t mean to start a series on rights this week. That’s why the series didn’t start until Tuesday. But after I did one and Wednesday rolled around with it’s purple push against bullying it naturally made me think more along those lines.
Here’s the thing about rights. True wisdom in morality and ethics is all about them. Knowing when you have them, when you don’t. When you can give them up and when you can’t. When you should give them up and when you shouldn’t. When to demand them, when to persuade them. When something, or someone, is more important than them, and when they are not.
I love this quote because it puts the other person in the forefront no matter what. That is the ultimate right, to choose our course of action. And the best course of action, just in case you are ever in doubt, is to always love the person in front of you.

Being purple today means you accept all people of any and multiple colors every day. Not just color of skin, but color of mind, heart, desire and body.
Give yourself over to celebrating those people who are not like you. Who wear clothes you would never wear, who say things in ways you would never say them, who think about the world in ways you hadn’t thought of.
Instead of judging people today, just enjoy them.

But are we free to command obedience to that ‘wrong’ from others in politics, society, religion? No, we are not.
