(Thoughtful Thursday #3) Things That People Have A Right To

• Freedom of religion
• Freedom of speech
• Happiness
• Marry whoever they want, regardless of gender/sex
• Have an abortion if they so choose
• Wear what they want and not be treated poorly for it
• Respect unless they have disrespected you
• Privacy
• Read, watch or listen to whatever they like

But no one has the right to take away these rights or try to dictate how others live their life.

It's not difficult people; be kind, be respectful, and be yourself. Don't judge others. Don't encroach on other people's happiness. As long as they are not harming you in any way, there is no need to attack them, verbally or physically. 

Do no stoop to the level of a bully. Defend yourself as necessary but do not seek out violence or arguments. Live peacefully and lovingly; you'll be much happier that way.

It surprises me how many people cannot grasp these simple concepts. We are all human beings and we should treat each other as such.
