oh, so you have it within you to create a right?
It's within people as a group. It's a collective concept. Rights don't really exist unless you have more than one person in consideration, and then their existence comes from the power to enforce or exert.
If you are by yourself, no other people anywhere on the planet, do you need rights? No. Because there is no one else there. But as soon you add that second or more people, you start to consider their relationship to you and how they can affect you or you them. That is where rights come into play. And it is dependent on power and ability to defend them, as well as willingness.
