We live in a self-centered world. People are more interested in their own rights and freedom to do what they want to do regardless of its effects upon others. They don't care if others might be hurt or offended for as long as they can get what they want. This is the kind of thinking that the Lord wants to change in people. Our minds need to be renewed when it comes to the exercise of our freedom. This can only happen through the Gospel. We can only become other-centered through the work of God's grace in us.
