Thinking little thoughts...

ailbheI have been thinking little thoughts lately (ok, since this afternoon) about a couple of rights that I don't think people actually have. But the thoughts are very small.
The right to judge other people and act on that judgement.
The right to withold assistance.
Now, I think that these are rights that people take or are sometimes given, but I don't think - at least, I think that I don't think - that they are automatic rights which everyone can assume they have, unlike, say, life, which most people assume is theirs by right, rather than by privilege.
I need to noodle this out a bit more, but I thought I'd throw it into the fray...
Goodbye, little thinkling. Have fun.
