Even when truth and justice are on your side, you may never be able to right your wrongs. Continually fighting for your rights will just make you resentful and angry. Those are all destructive emotions that tap our energy and make us negative. And besides, when people focus on their rights, they're often looking backward rather than forward.
When we stop worrying about our rights, it focuses us in the right decision and releases us to move forward on the journey. We recognize the wrongs, but we forgive them, and focus on what we can control -- our responsibilities. When we do that, it increases our energy, builds our potential, and improves our prospects." (John Maxwell)
My stand on this, sweethearts, is you have to defend your rights but upto a certain point only. Do not let it consume you and do not let this battle make you forget your ideals.
