Well, it depends, you've the "right to remind silent" during a concert, but you don't have the right to make any noise (unless you're one of the performing musicians), yet you're being treated equally when they throw you out! :):)
The spirit of it, yes. BUT - there is that word "right", again, ultimately forcing equality by legal means. I think equality needs to be kept on a philosophical/moral plane - once "rights" get involved, some are inevitably going to end up more equal than others.
Differences are equally valuable :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! If we were all the same, life would be no fun.
ReplyDeleteWithout being attacked! Yes! :-)

And the freedom to choose.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteTo be equal in rights and obligations means that one has freedom to be different as much as others have.
ReplyDeleteYes!! This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more!
ReplyDeleteIf all believed in this right, we could truly achieve equality.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the word "equality" cannot be applied to all of us....but anyway, nice quote.

As long as your "differentness" doesn't impact others in a negative or hurtful way, then you have the right to be different.
ReplyDeleteDoes equality really exist? If it does, it certainly is different.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought so too!! <3
