That is to say, society does not have a responsibility to assure either emotional or financial riches to anybody. When society seeks to guarantee to an individual that which is the fruit of individual desires and personal relationships--- then the society gets itself into frustrating corporate endeavors which tend to be counter-productive. On the other hand each society does have the responsibility to guarantee to each individual the right to actively seek emotional fulfillment and financial security---so long as their actions do not intrude upon other people's constitutional rights. Should people have the right to do things which are essentially private in nature---but disturb some people who suspect that such private behavior is taking place? That is to say, do citizens or the society have the right to be convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that certain tabooed behavior is not taking place in private? To grant such a right is to surrender the right to privacy! Yet some people may be emotionally disturbed to think that certain tabooed activities are being engaged in by various suspects. Such people may claim the right not to be emotionally disturbed by their fantasies of what they fear may be taking place. Can they be granted that emotional right? Not without denying to all citizens their right to privacy! Thus the emotionally immature cannot be granted the right to emotional tranquility---without denying the majority of all citizens the right to the privacy which is essential to their emotional fulfillment. In dealing with emotional rights it is important that care be taken in identifying the location of a problem; whether it be internal to an emotionally immature person who is disturbed by others' quite legitimate behavior, or a problem external in the behavior of others which by its very nature actively intrudes upon mature persons and does violence to their rights to be themselves and enjoy their constitutional rights. In some instances there may be unavoidable ambiguity in seeking to make that identification. Love, rather than law, will be most helpful in such instances. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
