Rule of Thumb: Rights
If you want a rule of thumb to determine whether or not a proposed right is really a right, here is a simple test: If it requires anything of anyone else, requires any other person to give or do something, then it is not your right. To live is a right. To make other people keep you alive is not a right. To choose your own behavior and thoughts is a right. To choose the behavior and thoughts of others is not. To own property is a right. To make other people give you property is not a right. To work to secure your own safety, or prosperity, or fulfilment, as best you can, is a right. To make other people contribute to your fulfilment, or your prosperity, or even your safety, is not.
This is crucial. You have a right to seek safety, to the extent that your search for safety involves actions and decisions within yourself. You do not have a right to safety, because to be perfectly safe, you would have to control the actions of others, and that is not a right. (And it’s a good thing, too. Nothing is quiet as disastrous for one’s health as being perfectly safe.)
