As a young teenage Christian, I used to go with a crew on preaching runs from Mile 2 to CMS. We'll take turns to stand in Molue Buses to preach the gospel of Christ. Not once did we think what we were doing was violating the rights of other passengers. We felt entitled to do it.

We felt the gospel of Jesus was too important that it was worth interrupting the lives of others to save them. It didn't matter whether they wanted to hear what we had to say or agreed it with it, we felt a force bigger than them had granted us permission to assault their day.

Never did it occur to us that we can preach the gospel and at the same time respect the rights of others not to be disturbed by it. It's the same mindset that makes some believe they can invade a community with megaphones to preach early in the morning or place speakers outdoors.

There is a lot of things wrong with our society and many of it can be linked to how we perceive the rights of others. Sometimes just examining some of the things we permit in the name of religion, tradition, culture and politics gives us an idea why we are the way we are.

It's the same entitlement mindset that'll make a big man block a road just because he's "burying his mother". I mean it's his mother and he's a big man, so why shd you complain. It's same mindset that makes a govt official or clergy think it's an insult to ask for accountability.

I mean who are you to ask? Did I take permission from you? Were you the one that appointed, called, and elected me? I got my permission from an authority higher than you, so who the hell are you?

Whenever you disregard the rights of others, these are the questions you're asking.
