Do you have a right to be upset?

LilypadGG · October 18, 2015, 12:47:39 AM

So im curious guys. Do you have the right to be upset when someone does something you dont want them to do, but you say its okay? Like say.. If the person wanted to go somewhere and you didnt want to go, so they went without you and you say it was okay. do you have the right to be mad or is it some bullshit?

Since people don't mean what they say all the time, probably.
But for this specific example, unless they went to Candyland and didn't send you snapchats of Lord Licorice I'd consider it kind of petty.

what do emotional responses have to do with rights

I don't put much thought into that. "Do you have the right" stuff. I think the more important thing to ask is why you're doing what you're doing instead of asking if it's just something to be pigeon holed into a black and white category.

The reason why, is because regardless of whether or not you have the right, people will step over it. Even you, will step over it. To me it seems mostly pointless in asking that question. Becuase it's fruitless.

If you're angry, is asking yourself, "Duoy, do I have the right to be angry," going to calm you down? Not really. The same applies to any emotion or action you do.

It's not about whether you're right or wrong. I think it's more important to ask why. Why are you angry? Why are you sad? Why would you do that? And then, you get your options to pick from, and make your choice.

So do you have a right? I don't know. But I do know that even if you got an answer to that question, you would probably violate that right on a consistent basis. Therefore rendering it practically meaningless.

You have the right to be upset and i have the right to care or to not care

You have the right to be offended. I have the right to not give a shit.

I thought this was established

Sure you do, but if you choose not to go on your own volition, the only person you have to blame for being upset is yourself. Remember, it's your choice to be offended

If you don't want someone to do something, then why the hell would you give them permission?

I do believe you have the right to feel your feelings.

i think that falls under the freedom of expression

Rights objectively don't exist, but if you're talking about rights in a social society, then it matters what society, or system you're in. I don't know what system you're in.

Example of social systems: One guy decides the price for two people. Both either agree, or they both get nothing.

$18 for me, and $2 for you would be declined if you were an american, whereas if we were in a tribe, you'd accept it because in the end you still gain something. What's right and wrong is important to americans, whereas in the tribe they look at things more pragmatically. Justice for both of us, or no gain at all vs you gain more, but I still gain something.

I do, you don't.

You can't turn arbitrary feelings into objective laws.

Get upset. Or don't. Just don't be surprised if you're treated like a cunt for acting like a cunt.
