There was a time not so long ago when certain societies understood the essential and harmonious link between Rights and Responsibilities. Lately, it seems that everyone is so busy defending their Rights they’ve forgotten the other part.

Right: Freedom of Speech Responsibility: Respect for others
Right: Wealth Responsibility: Generosity
Right: Innovation Responsibility: Preservation
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang are complementary forces that work together to form a dynamic system whose whole is greater than its assembled parts.
However, the yin and the yang were divided along the way. Most of today's challenges exist because people loudly defend their rights and silently deny responsibility. And when rights are exercised without responsibility, they cause division. After all, many shout, but few listen. harmony is lost.
We meditate not only to look inward (albeit an important step) to become a better version of ourselves. Endgame is about compassion, looking beyond yourself to become a better listener.
Because when you hear it, you understand it. And when we understand, we expand. Only then can we recognize our responsibility to protect the rights of others, rather than just protesting our own.
