Fight for Your Right to Party: The Importance of Cutting Loose Now and Then

Many things in life I can take or leave, but one idea that is precious to me, one for which I am willing to fight, is the right to party. The right to party is an essential outlet for ones emotions. If denied this right, people become pent up and will either show their deep frustration with the fatigues of their self-induced all work-no play mentality immediately, or they will eventually lose the mental capacity to contain their frustrations and let loose their furious, no longer controllable, wishing-it-had-been-partying-all-these-years, soul, which can only lead to trouble.

Further down the road, the unleashing of this would-be-partygoer's distressed inner being can cause multitudes of seemingly unforeseeable consequences like intentional disassociation with society, suicide attempts, and even interest in musical groups like Journey and U2. Needless to say, there cannot possibly be any ends to justify the means, or for that matter, means to justify the ends, of allowing society to party.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. This combination has also been scientifically proven to create a chemical imbalance in Jack's delicate nervous system. If this hypothetical Jack were forced into an all work-no play situation, as per stripped of his right to party, the following onslaught of mental impairment could result in such devastating, unjustifiable consequences as Jack harming himself, becoming an overall menace to society, and listening to the works of other mentally impaired persons, like Bono, and in a worst case scenario, even being influenced by those types of peoples. If there were some feasible argument attacking the right, our right to party, what would it be? Would it be the harm that comes from partying?

It can't be so. I can say to you with confidence, that no one has ever been killed by partying. Sure, people have died at parties, but what is stopping a lonesome, party-deprived hermit from binge drinking himself to death? Why can't a misguided, faux-rock-star influenced adolescent break his neck after falling from his own second story balcony while dropping acid alone, thereby missing out in healthy social interaction with his peers? A truthful answer to either of these questions cannot be found anywhere. So I maintain my premise, concluding the right to party remains especially essential to society's and a given individual's well-being, and should be fought for, with all of our might.
