Rights Plus Responsibilities



Men have rights. We have right to play, right to run, right to shout and right to jump, but even we do these rights, let us be responsible for each.

I still remember one of the books that I have read, entitled, “Enjoy God’s Best For your Life”, one of the chapters there was about Saint John Bosco’s famous maxim,, “Run, shout, Jump and Play-But do not Sin.”

We all have the right to play, we can run everywhere, but let us follow the park’s signs, like “Do not pick flowers.” Let us not destroy its garden to maintain its beauty, we can play and run but avoid sin.

On a vacant area, we can shout out loud and listen to the echo of our voice because we enjoy hearing it, it is our right, but let us not utter foul words just to enjoy the moment. We can shout but do not sin.

We can jump elsewhere, like in a cemetery but let us not step onto the graves. Let us respect them. We can play when are visiting your loved ones who have passed away but let us show respect to them. We can jump but do avoid committing sin.

Men have their life to live and enjoy, coupled with our rights, but we should be responsible.
