Human Rights vs Duties

Human Rights is about demanding what is fair. It was born to protect us from injustice. It requires a change of thought and behaviour in others to benefit us. It is essentially self-ish.

This is only half the narrative.

Human Duties is about offering what is fair. It is ignored in favour of its more popular sister. It should be developed to protect others from injustice. It requires a change of thought and behaviour in us to benefit others. It is essentially self-less.

The Giving nature of Duties discounts its ability to talk about itself. This is why it remains quiet. In contrast, the Expecting nature of Rights ensures that it is loud and seen.

It is time Duties speak up and take charge of the story.
