LGBTQ Right to Marriage
It was the late 90s, and I was about to graduate from the University of Toronto. I took several political philosophy courses, and those courses talked about the notion of citizen and subject. A citizen had legal rights. However, a subject did not have legal rights.
I knew that the LGBTQ community would have the right to marriage because they were a Canadian citizen and not a subject. And leaving in a secular country that religion is separated from politics, the LGBTQ community would have the right same as a heterosexual one.

Thinking the Same Way
God in the Holy Bible says you do not take credit for your good deeds, and It is Me who is doing the kind acts of God. 1
I was reading Dr. Michael J. Sandel's book, "Justice What's the Right Thing to Do?" He asserts that when we are doing good, it should not be upon feeling good, but it is our civic duty to help others if we begin to help others because it makes us feel good. Then we will be selective in a manner helping others.
Therefore, we all think the same way when we are helping others. Let's not be boastful about kind acts, but be generous about it.

Thinking Outside of the Box
It is essential to think outside of the box to develop new ideas. The ideas that are going to revolutionize our way of living and thinking. These revolutionary ideas are enabling us to move toward progress and modernity. The notion of progress and modernity are fundamental principles toward the greatness of humanity.
The notion of modernity and progress have hidden parts. The hidden elements are causing a dilemma for humanity to make progress and moving humanity toward modernity. The hidden parts are about rejecting traditional values, identities, and those golden values that they brought humanity to the current time. Now, turning back to those golden rules, it would be a betrayal to what made humanity to where they are now.
