Human rights are the implicit boundaries on our actions, shaped by what others accept as permissible, ensuring we live together without causing harm or restriction to each other.
Anyone can act as they’re able, but as the dominant species on this planet, we’re accountable only to each other. If someone’s actions endanger, restrict, or alter another person’s life without their explicit consent, it is not acceptable. Living in large groups, in societies, requires that we support rather than harm one another. Any action that negatively impacts someone else – whether through physical harm or something as subtle as delaying their intent to sleep – constitutes a violation of their life.
Wherever you are in the world, if your actions negatively impact someone else, they don’t need to explicitly state or prove it – human rights serve as an implicit limit on your own actions that may affect others. These are the freedoms that all people – regardless of nationality, race, beliefs, or background – implicitly accept you can exercise.
“Human rights” are not something you or anyone else has. They are something that all other people in the world, TOGETHER, implicitly allow you to do.
Why
- nobody nowhere has any obligation towards you. You are a separate entity in the world and, as such, you are the only one responsible for yourself
- nobody should tolerate or accept any abuse or any kind of harm from you. Each individual is responsible for its own life, well being and existence and thus not mandated to allow any external negative influence. Life (based on the evolution so far) is build to avoid and circumvent any negative sources so that it may persist
