the function of 'barite' is to add weight to the drilling mud,
resulting in it being able to handle high pressure,
so that it can be suitably used for safe drilling operations
...that is an example of a good additive
in life, they have this additive called 'by right'
the usage of 'by right' is to point out other's responsibilities,
to add (sometimes) unnecessary high pressure to people,
so we have our way when it comes to controlling others
...that is an example of a bad additive
for example, we use the 'by rights' in situations such as
"...hey, by right YOU are the one that has to do it!...",
or "...by right, men are the one's that has to fulfill all this!...", or "...by right, you should be respecting me as your landlord!..."
or "...by right, you ought to pay more than all of us!..."
now here's my problem with that mentality; insensibility.
sure, in most cases people may be right about it,
or sure, it may the norm for our society to expect certain things,
but is it really that hard to help out a little?
is it really tough to lend a helping hand to others?
is it really demeaning to do mundane tasks in work?
is it really a burden to lighten other people's life?
maybe. maybe not.
so here's what i think, use less 'by rights',
and try to be a bit more sensible
when it comes to everyday decisions and everyday life
...it'll be a far better additive in your life, trust me.
