Rights are your option to express preference that do not interfere with any person’s self-same option.
I got all the way to the end of this essay before I realized that I hadn’t answered the question. I copied and pasted the conclusion here, if you would like to follow the logic, please read on.
What I, you or anyone else means by ‘rights’ is inconsequential. Rights exist without people to acknowledge them, they are the imperative of a creature that has the ability to form preferences.
Rights do not need to be invoked by a person to be within the purview of that person. On a day you may reserve you right to defend your property from incursion via trespass, the next you may exercise it.
Your rights don’t spoil on the vine if you do not pick and preserve them, they are durable, they can be ignored or cast aside, it cannot change the nature of what they are. Rights are the description of your choice to enforce your will on the world. Or not.
Rights don’t overlap. They end at the very borders of where another’s begin. They can only exist in parallel, not in series. Your rights are not contingent on anyone else. No one can give them or take them away.
Among a group of thinking animals related closely enough to be considered together as a monolith, the rights among those members is uniform across the population. If you are here, there or anywhere, your rights follow you and are consistent.
When governments are formed among men, there is an agreement to disavow certain portions of individual rights to execute rule of a voluntary subset of man. Some forms of government allow enough humanity to remain that a citizen may feel safe and free. Most do not.
The many words here on the page thus far specifically do not answer your question. These words describe what rights are not. To address what rights ARE will require casting your mind into a place where governments and borders do not exist.
In the wild, one will find preferences that either improve or diminish satisfaction or safety. You will surely prefer to avoid stepping in holes and breaking your ankle. You will prefer to avoid getting wet when it is cold, and you will prefer to keep your arms out of the mouth of just about every other animal you see.
Rights are your option to express preference that do not interfere with any person’s self-same option.
