In November 2012,
I wrote the Right to Be in relation to individual people--
everyone being free to be who they are.
everyone being free to be who they are.
But the Right to Be also means the right to simply exist.
And this means a nation, a religious group, a race or any other group
connected by a commonality.
A resolve to commit to non-judgment
is a step that upholds the Right to Peace.
Upholding this right also means that we have to push back---
push back against extreme ideas or judgments,
but not all extreme ideas, for some are creative,
only those that thrive on conflict and destruction,
only those that thrive on conflict and destruction,
those ideas that destroy the Right to Be.
Although I placed the Right to Be
into the constellation of Free Will Rights,
it really belongs in the constellation of Future Rights,
because as commenter JDF points out,
it is "a battle that will have to be fought for a long time."
