Unlimited human rights
The common understanding of human rights is to ensure humans live together in an appropriate manner. It is a moral system among us humans. The point is not to place us into the world or earth or universe or however the place for us is defined. The point is to give rules and standards for us in regard of the interaction among ourselves. Without doubts, human rights are a great step for us humans for our own evolution to evolve away from barbarically monsters.
Unfortunately, the current efforts to improve point mainly to preserve earth as a natural given environment to serve also our next generations. As noble as this undoubtedly is, it ignores our actual role on earth. We are no different to other beings and our rights are limited in this regard. We have for instance no right to act towards the extinction of other beings on earth. Commonly it is said: “Everyone has the right to the free development of his personality, as far as he does not violate the rights of others.”, but this others is only addressing us as humans.
Human rights may not need to improve towards the here stated conflict if the human rights understanding is connected to the understanding of our role as one of many beings on earth. In reality this context is usually not drawn. This leads to ignorant behaviour of humans towards the other beings on earth. Needless so say, we are a very young being and we live together on this one, single, small planet with beings many millions of years older as us. Actually, we have not yet proven to have the right to exist on earth. This can only be proven with our existence long-lasting on earth. That is natural law and above all other laws. If we mess this planet up we will not last either. Our current human rights records speak a clear message: we will not last in the way the many other kinds are lasting on earth.
Interestingly, this part of understanding has from a philosophical point of view also the character of a religion. Something “high” defined, like above all other standards.
As often found out, we are busy with ourselves. So much, we forget about the “higher” things of importance. Watching humans is often like watching a mental ill talking to themself. Our isolated behaviour with our current understanding of our limits makes me wonder if I would like to be born at another time.
