I like the way that the Catholic Church talks about "rights".

This way is not well known or understood, or accepted because it's a bit more intellectual and personally demanding. In fact relatively few Catholics have ever heard rights framed this way.

Rights are given to us so that we may execute our duties given to us by our nature and state in life, and these various duties of course are in the end to serve to the good, that is to serve God.

They aren't given to us to pursue wants, desires, etc.
