ranting
i have no right to tell someone else what to do. unless in doing so, they
will hurt me in some way. i can question them. talk with them. try to change
their decisions. ways of thinking. but only if they want to listen. want to
entertain my questions. i can tell them my experiences. my thoughts. even
what i think they should do. but if. once i cross that line. of trying to
get someone to do something. and forcing someone to do something. whether
physically. mentally. or emotionally. that act of force is wrong. no longer
within my rights. each person has the right to make their own decisions. and
is responsible for the consequences of those decisions. and giving up that
right. to make decisions for oneself. is also a decision. with consequences
of its own. which in their turn must be accepted. but the right once
relinquished. can always be reclaimed. at any time. for this is the nature
of rights. but the consequences incurred when the right was given up must
be dealt with nonetheless. do what thou wilt, an harm none.
