Give me rights or give me death

I don't mean to be dramatic but I know that I would not do well in a society without rights or with very few rights.
No doubt I would become a rebellion leader or possibly a criminal master mind if I lived in that society.
Rights are the basis for freedom I need freedom. So why then are rights so hard for people around the world to get?
Why, even in the U.S., are some people still being told they don't have the right to be happy or have their basic needs met.
The answer is not a simple one. People are complex.
I have a few theories as to why people deny other rights, don't fight for rights, and why people ignore rights.
1. People are like sheep. They like to be herded and have hierachy's. It makes them feel needed, protected, and wanted.
2. People are cowards. They don't like to get involoved because it puts them at risk.
3. They are ignorant. They do not know what is going on around them.
4. They are making themselves believe that there is nothing wrong.
and last but not least,
5. Nothing in life is ever easy to get. It takes time, dedication, focus, love, strength, and support to get things done. People are slow to jump on board anything and politics are even slower.
The point to all this is when it comes to rights, wars are raging all over the world and battles are being won and lost everyday. Rights will always be here because people will alwasy want them.
