A Quote by Mahatma Gandhi
If all simply insist on rights and no duties, there will be utter confusion and chaos.

If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek. If leaving duties unperformed we run after rights, they will escape us like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Out of the performance of duties flow rights, and those that knew and performed their duties came naturally by their rights.
'Rights' are granted; 'duties' are enforced. To speak of rights and duties is to think in terms of authority.
When you sign with a label, they do insist upon certain rights, and if you have a competent attorney, your rights will be protected.
Rightly it is said of utter, utter misery, that it 'cannot be remembered'; itself, being a rememberable thing, is swallowed up in its own chaos.
I will return to Libya and undertake my duties and obligations to bring equality within the chaos.
Measure her rights and duties by the unerring standard of moral being… and then the truth will be self-evident, that whatever it is morally right for a man to do, it is morally right for a woman to do. I recognize no rights but human rights – I know nothing of men’s rights and women’s rights; for in Christ Jesus, there is neither male nor female. It is my solemn conviction, that, until this principle of equality is recognised and embodied in practice, the Church can do nothing effectual for the permanent reformation of the world.
Very beautiful situations have developed using chaos as part of the enlightened approach. There is chaos of all kinds developing all the time...

But if we are able to look into the basic situation, then chaos is the inspiration, confusion is the inspiration.
If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek.
Some respected and beloved brethren insist that the forming and organising of churches is, according to God's will, the only means of finding blessing in the midst of that confusion which is acknowledged to exist.
Begin with duties of a man and rights will follow as spring follows winter
Confusion has become a state of mind, more of less; we're trained to be confused. Quite simply, the people in power are keeping us down, keeping us docile and keeping us consuming with this confusion. It's a cultural confusion and it is deliberate.
To those who feel that their values are THE values, the less controlled systems necessarily present a spectacle of "chaos," simply because such systems respond to a diversity of values. The more successfully such systems respond to diversity, the more "chaos" there will be, by definition, according to the standards of ANY specific set of values- other than diversity or freedom as values. Looked at another way, the more self-righteous observers there are, the more chaos (and "waste") will be seen.
Fighting is pure chaos, and to be a good fighter you simply have to be prepared mentally and physically to handle that chaos.
In the U.S., those requesting a Green Card must take an oath that they will fulfill the rights and duties of citizenship.
The real danger of democracy is, that the classes which have the power under it will assume all the rights and reject all the duties-that is, that they will use the political power to plunder those-who-have.
