Rights and privileges

[Tsawke`Iheyu]

I read around here some stuff which kinda made me dizzy... what's wrong with Religion, it has nothing to do with the rights and privileges we have on Earth. These rights and privileges were supposed to mean freedom, equillibrium, evolution. Post Revolutionary civilisation transformed everything into a pattern-based life, totally split from the real meaning of being a Terran.

And come on, "tradition" should be a closed case. The rules of the world put that in front only if it's a national birthday or a collonial anniversary. They don't do that cause the "tradition" is meant to go on for the next generations and the concept will perish ahead of our day by day actions, like go to work/ school come back home, things that already are a tradition. We go to work cause it's a "tradition". We go to school from the same reason, it's like we are forced to do that.
Religion the same, has become a lost concept... a lost language, a splitted and cutted into pieces idea. Thousands of years ago people from Egypt were present at the ceremonies with the smile on their faces, not because "D'uhh ! You don't believe in God you're a sinner !" and then stamped as a non-Christian/ Buddhist/ etc. I look at the ceremonials in my country where they bring very rare bones of Saints (I don't know about all of this...) and people become nuts and want to touch the bones with all costs ! I mean come'on ! Where is the order ? Where is the respect for Religion as so many think they have ? Where is the fundation ? It was all lost since 1054 after year zero. There are so rare the people that go to Church to pray as a deep thought, the more are those who go to Church forced. Sad thing...

I know a saying, a very small, but very-very important saying which we should take it very serious : "I leave you the ground and a flower, it's only your fault if it dies". It depends on each and every one of us what we can "extract" from this phrase.

That statement is a product of tradition in itself. You were most likely raised up believing that societies advance. That very notion of progress traces its history all the way back to western thought and was passed on to you. Not everyone in the world would say that rights are for evolution or advancement. Also as I mentioned above, not every culture values justice. Everyone seems to be so used to the single definition of rights that they grew up with that they forget it is not universal.

Edit: What I am getting at with all these posts is that there are some serious issues in defining what constitutes a universal right. We cannot assume that the principles we always grew up with, believe in, or support are fundamental rights.
