The
Morality of Liberty is
simply rational objective philosophy. Too
few people have chosen to consider, contemplate and
adopt a Morality which IS the platform from which all matters of life can
be evaluated. All humanity must understand this simple platform if it is
to enjoy the rewards of Life with true Liberty.Our USA
Declaration of Independence states … “All men [have]
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and
the pursuit of Happiness...” These few words state the Natural
Rights of humanity, and are the essence of
true Morality. Such Rights are absolutes — they are not negotiable,
for to lose those Rights equates to losing Life itself.
Without Life one does not exist;
compromising Liberty negates one's right and ability to sustain his life;
denying the Pursuit of Happiness negates value in Life itself. For
one to compromise
any part of one's Natural Rights is immoral unto oneself, and equally immoral unto
your world.
Contrary to common belief,
the above words are NOT contained within our Constitution with Amendments serve to partially correct that amazing
oversight, but the sum of those Amendments fails to encompass the
full meaning, and some contradict the meaning of that original
phrase within the Declaration of Independence. While the essence of morality is contained
within that simple phrase, far too many have never troubled to consider the
whole implications, those words and thus cannot relate those to lives of
true freedom.
Your RIGHT TO LIFE is an
entirely personal and individual right, which cannot exist except
that each person OWNS their life and all, which is necessary and
thus proper, to sustain and enhance Life. “Life” necessarily
encompasses the entire spectrum of the components of Humanity.
Far beyond the basics of
merely continuing to breathe, of having a beating heart, Human Life
means not only the instincts necessary for survival, which are
merely characteristics of all animals. Only Human life necessarily
includes the the Mind and the ability to apply the human capability
to Reason based upon all that is observable by one’s Senses, and to
use one’s Reason to abstract and conceive of things beyond —
innovation, improvement, expansion, and creation.
The only valid
Morality is necessarily
based upon our knowledge of that which Exists — those things which
are known and knowable — which therefore can be perceived by our
senses of vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Our senses proved
our means of perceiving that which exists, and our mind can
consider, expand upon and organize those perceptions, and by use of
Reason can draw conclusions which necessarily conform to the
knowable Existence, and/or provable by logical and scientific
process. Animals cannot Reason. Reasoning is the unique, special
and most precious characteristic of Humanity.
- Your life belongs only
to YOU, which means… it does NOT belong to anyone else.
- Who has the right to
your life? Only YOU!
- Who has the right to
control or manipulate your Life? Only YOU!
- Who determines the level
of quality of your Life? Only YOU!
- Who then is Responsible
for your Life? Hmmm, would that be YOU?
- Further, you are also
responsible for the family which you have chosen, but no others.
- And in return your
family is equally responsible for you.You may Choose to assume
responsibility for others whom you value, but…
- The extent and longevity
of responsibility for those others is strictly your Personal
Choice.
Right to Life:
Of course you have the right to life and therefore that
life belongs to You. If anyone else were to take your life, You
would not exist, having neither Life nor any need or even desire for
Life. It sounds so elementary, doesn’t it? Therefore, each of us
must have our personal right to life. To sustain and enhance that
life is our primary duty to ourselves, for without life we are
nothing. Did I say something wrong here? I think not,
which brings us to Your…
Right to Liberty: Most of us seldom think deeply
about Liberty or Freedom – it’s just a word, something we’re
supposed to have, and if “They” tell us we have Liberty, we tend to
take “Them” at their word. We truly do need to think about Liberty,
each and every time we make choices affecting our Lives, We need th
consider whether we are truly Free to make those choices, or whether
“They” have already made or limited those choices without your
consent.
How is your Life sustained
and enhanced? With Your…
Property: — which is everything you own, hopefully
because you earned it! Property includes your money, your income,
your home, your earned assets, , your investments, even your
wristwatch, your food and clothing. But most importantly, Life
includes Your Mind, all Your Mind creates and does to enable your
continuing survival and gain happiness and comfort for yourselves
and your personal Circle. Would you allow others to steal your
property? Of course not, for earning and accumulating and using
your property is necessary to sustain and enhance your Life! If you
cannot and do not sustain your life, and if you fail to insist up
your Right to do so, you die. Being dead, you are unable to help
your family, your friends, or your freely chosen charitable
choices. Once dead, how do you accumulate property to sustain and
enhance the life of yourself and your loved ones?
Might you use your…
Mind? Would you use your mind to weigh the pros and
cons of your every move, to make the best decisions toward your
better Life? Or would you cede your Mind for such decisions over
to someone else? Who knows better than you what will be the best
choices for your personal Life? Would you turn your choices over to
your neighbor, or to the criminal on another street, or to your
mayor and council, or your governor, or your congressman, or your
president? Who can know better than you what is best for your
personal life? Who knows best of your circumstances, your desires,
and your abilities? Whose mind is really superior to Yours?
Which leads right into the
necessity of having…
Personal Choice: Our choices are ours alone to
make. We can make good choices and reap the rewards, or we can make
poor choices for which we will pay the price of decreased prosperity
and happiness, or even cause loss of Your Life. If You turn your
personal choices over to someone else, will that someone somehow
care less about their own life, or will they be too busy making
their own personal choices? Can you really trust them to somehow
make better choices for You than you can make for yourself? This is
not a rhetorical question! If You will cede your Mind to another,
then are you Human, or are you merely an animal, an entity without
the unique human ability to Reason?
Pursuit of Happiness.
So long as you are alive and able, your property is yours
with which to pursue the happiness you have earned, for yourself,
your family and your chosen friends. One’s sense of happiness is
unique to each individual, who must define in accordance with one’s
own interest and priorities. It is to be treasured, and is not to
be diminished by being altered or stolen from you by anyone, in
particular by governments or other criminals. Happiness may be
enhanced by sharing with those you treasure. Even your charity via
gift or effort may increase your happiness.
In furthering your
Morality, realize that
You are entirely responsible for your own Life. You are also
equally responsible allowing all others the same equal Right to
Life.
