Snatching of others' rights is a serious moral, social, and legal issue. It means taking away the rights and entitlements of someone else—whether it's their voice, property, opportunity, respect, or freedom—without justice or permission. Here’s how it can be viewed from different angles:
- Moral Perspective:
It is unethical and unjust.
Every human being has dignity and value. When someone’s right is snatched, it denies their humanity and self-worth.
It reflects selfishness, greed, and lack of empathy.
- Social Perspective:
It leads to social imbalance—where some people gain power, wealth, or voice at the cost of others.
Creates injustice, anger, and rebellion in society.
Promotes inequality, especially among the poor, minorities, or marginalized groups.
3. Legal Perspective:
Snatching others' rights—such as land, inheritance, education access, or freedom—is a violation of law.
Laws are made to protect the rights of all. Denying someone their right means breaking the law and harming the justice system.
- Religious and Ethical Perspective:
All major religions—Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, etc.—teach respect for others’ rights.
In Islam, snatching rights is considered zulm (oppression), and a grave sin.
Ethical teachings promote coexistence, fairness, and sharing, not oppression.
- Psychological Impact:
The victim of such snatching often suffers from stress, loss of confidence, and emotional trauma.
The oppressor may gain material benefit but often loses inner peace, and social respect.
Snatching the rights of others is not only an injustice to the individual but also a crime against humanity. A peaceful, fair, and progressive society can only be built when everyone’s rights are respected, voices are heard, and justice is equally applied. Let us stand for justice, and speak against oppression—because silence supports the oppressor.
1. Ego and Superiority Complex
Some people develop a false sense of superiority—they believe they are better, more deserving, or more powerful than others.
This inflated ego makes them think others' rights are not important or can be taken without guilt.
Example: A powerful person thinking they can silence others or take their share because "they know better."
🧠 2. Justification and Self-Deception
The brain often justifies wrong actions to protect the image of being “right.”
People may convince themselves:
“They didn’t deserve it,”
“I had no other choice,”
“They would have done the same to me.”
This self-deception allows them to blame others for their own wrongdoing.
3. Insecurity and Fear of Loss
Sometimes, people fear losing power, resources, or control, so they take others’ rights to protect themselves.
This comes from deep insecurity—believing that “only I must survive, even if others suffer.”
4. Learned Behavior from Society or Childhood
If someone grows up in an environment where rights are regularly taken by force or power, they learn that it's normal behavior.
For example, corrupt systems, unfair parenting, or unequal schools may teach: "Only the strong win."
🧱 5. Lack of Empathy and Moral Development
Some people lack empathy—the ability to feel others' pain.
This can happen due to trauma, poor upbringing, or psychological conditions.
Without empathy, they don't feel guilty for hurting others.
6. Blame-Shifting as a Defense Mechanism
Blaming others is a common defense mechanism.
It protects the person’s ego and avoids responsibility.
They may say, “They made me do it,” or “It’s not my fault,” even when they are clearly wrong.
Psychologically, snatching others' rights and blaming them is often rooted in ego, insecurity, lack of empathy, or learned behavior.
To fix this, people need self-awareness, emotional education, and moral guidance—not just laws.
