This reminds me of a chapter in Rabbi Akiva Tatz’s book (not sure if World Mask or Thinking Jewish Teenager’s Guide to Life). He discusses how society requires each person to respect the others’ rights. When that breaks down, society cannot function. I may have a right to listen to music, but if I do so at max volume in middle of the night, that affects my neighbors’ rights to sleep. Common decency and mutual respect are necessary to have a happy functioning society. America used to be live-and-let-live. It seems those days are fading away.
I believe that today many are concerned with their “rights”, but ignore their own requirements to respect others’ rights as well. We see this with the “gender” language trying to police other people’s speech. The same is true for many talking points like “free education”. One’s right to free education will be funded by someone who previously worked hard and will now be taxed additionally for that right to be conveyed. Same for health care.
It’s easy to demand rights from others, but if it’s not a two-way street, society will break down.
