"Our hope for a unifying principle by which men might dwell together in peace lies not in acts that affirm the autonomy of the individual but in acts that glorify the brotherhood of man. We cannot raise ourselves by adding to our inventory of individual rights. The fulfillment of individual rights depends on the fulfillment of individual and group responsibilities. If we are to raise ourselves and all mankind, we must strengthen our common commitment and service in the cause of responsibility for the welfare of others and the good of society at large.”--Dallin H. Oaks
Rights and Responsibilities
My cousin gave his life protecting our rights.
I am so in awe at his courage and selflessness.
My heart hurts for his family. Please pray for them.
