Everyone has a right to choose. Having said that, certain people do have a duty to act in the best interests of others, be they for personal or professional reasons. The latter of course would not necessarily be limited to the person working in an official capacity during the "material time" in question. That time obviously being the time that person decides to do "certain things and not for others".
I agree with Kdot and r0lan6--it is context dependent, and a couple of those contexts include such things as official duties (police, military, government officials, etc.) and, I'm assuming, maturity (adults vs. children). As abstractions, these differences in power make sense, but in individual cases, of course, they get abused. I've met many silly parents and look at their children with deep sympathy.
I was saying this in the Caning thread, but I think that things are often made OK through silence, even though many think they ought not be. Silence is a form of action through inaction, which reminds me of voting...
Is it OK for some in this world to do certain things and not for others ?
The world has to many double standards !
Your thoughts please .
Massively diverse subject this one Mike.
You must have something specific in mind, why don't you share it?
If it's a generic query, then yes it has to be ok as for one to do something (for someone/body, I assume as you didn't say) and not for others as there might be a multitude of reasons behind such actions.
