Rights and Responsibility

Filed under: Noah's Posts

I posted my last blog about liberty and responsibility. Then I read this quote from the brilliant book Authentic Conversations, by Jamie and Maren Showkeir.

Claiming rights without responsibilities is anarchy. Responsibilities without rights is oppression. Consenting to rights and responsibilities is necessary for us to claim our place as adults.

I highly recommend this book. It is a serious and extremely valuable read about changing our conversations to build more effective, adult relationships.
