Human Rights or
Individual Rights
Before we go any
further in the direction of achieving and maintaining Human
Rights for human beings, we need to understand what human is
and what his rights are and at the same time it is also
utmost important to be able to understand what ‘rights’ is
and why ‘rights’ is rights and what this is for. I always
have a question in my mind that always forces me to think of
why it is only humans who seek human rights? why not the
whole living beings living in great harmony on the mother
earth despite being the equal partners in bringing the
equillibrium of ecosystem for infinite Universal
co-existence?
Man has all the
facilities, he has all the access to every thing around him
made available in abundance by miraculous advancement of
science and technology, he still lacks peace and prosperity,
love and compassion deep down.
The more educated,
the more wealthy the man is, the more destructive, the more
intolerant and the more helpless, restless and depressed he
is today. Why? The whole animal- kingdom on earth has never
had any school and university, any government and
beaurocracy around them, still they have been living with a
great harmony in tune with nature. They have never disturbed
the beauty and peace of organic unity, for successful
co-existence on earth. They have never fought any world
wars. They have never split and divided themselves into
small fragments like nations, social classes, casteism,
Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism, the haves and
haves-not and the East and West. This is why they are called
animals, wild and uncivilized for they truly deserve it. We
are human beings educated, cultured, civilized, trained and
skilled with a fully developed and conscious mind. Perhaps,
this is why all our so called human development and
education is leading the global humanity towards the global
destruction and global suicide.
Why all this nonsense? Why all this happens to humanity?
It happens so and
perhaps will continue too to happen because basically the
very concept of human rights is wrong. Not human rights. No,
it’s not enough. It is, infact, the rights of the individual
because only the rights of the individual is the rights of
right living on earth. The rights of right living includes
the rights for the being as the being regardless of human
being or animal being or whatsoever.
The rights of the
individual is the only way to holistic human development.
The rights of the individual can best nurture and nourish
the very potential of every human being deep within. It can
help blossom the lotus of life in every heart. The very idea
of Human rights works reaching the people in collective, in
masses. It is always meant for masses because it patternize
and catagorize Human Rights in accordance with the masses,
the crowd and hence gives no room for uniqueness and
individuality. When Human Rights strives for human
development in collective destroying the very individuality,
the very uniqueness and the very essence of the being, then
a disaster happens in human life because then the truly
intelligent, and conscious people full of love, awareness
and compassion in their heart, find it quite unnatural and
difficult to fit themselves into those certain steriotyped
patterns of international human rights created and
implemented by handful selected intelligential in the UN. So
those who can’t fit themselves into this pattern of human
rights, find no place for themselves in so called human
rights enshrined in the UN charter.
The 12 point UN
Human Rights has no room for freedom for the individual but
for people in masses losing their potential individuality.
The individual is not allowed to live freely in his utter
individuality enjoying and blossoming his uniqueness. He is
forced to live bearing certain false and artificial identity
and political trademarks. He is not allowed to be what he is
deep within. He is, in everyway, forced to be other than
what he is whithin. He is constantly forced to be an Indian
or an Itallian, a Jewish or a Jain or something like this.
He is bound to choose to be something other than what he is
deep down or wishes to be. What a shame? We declare that the
nations are free, that we are no longer the slave, that we
are independent but at the sametime, we can’t go from one
parts of the world to the other parts on our mother earth.
We say, this is our mother earth but the very mother earth
is divided into many political boundaries. And the irony is
that this division is not natural but artificial. And this
political division and fragmentations have gradually
poisoned the very possibility of the potential deep within
every individual. We are not allowed to live and love our
mother earth totally. We need somebody’s permission and
visa. I don’t know what kind of Human Rights is this. Does
this rights have any freedom for the free development of the
potential in the individual? Certainly not. When the mother
earth is split into many parts, not integrated and whole,
how can the nations on the motherearth claim themselves to
be free. There is not even an inch of land on this very
earth where free people around the world can visit and live
together as single global citizens without bearing any
political identity, passport and visas.
Now is the high
time to work together striving hard for single global
citizenship, single global humanity and single global
Governance.
