Rights To The World: Identities, Nations, And Conflicts In The Indivisible Garden - Paperback

by Boon Choo (Author)

The world is unraveling. Climate crises, economic sanctions, and threats of nuclear war converge on one unchanging constant: humanity's perception of rights.
Rights are the currency through which the world interacts, but with every such interaction, human relationships fray. Supersized and supercharged, rights have driven the impulses of individuals and nations alike to violence and conflicts. We are adamant that the world order is better off underpinned by human, territorial, or intellectual rights, even when this cannot be further from reality. The simple fact is, we have no rights; deserve none, and the more we claim them, the worse off we will be!
Notwithstanding this, we carry an embedded instinct that may yet pull us back from the brink. Locked within our consciousness is a moral value of a common garden that connects everyone; past, present, and future. It is the only universal moral that stands between humanity and its damnation brought on by rights.
