To myself,
morality is very simple, but the objective of helping others to
grasp, contemplate, accept and adopt as the principles by which may
have and build a life with happiness and prosperity — that requires
example and elaboration.
“Morality”
and “Philosophy”
seem hugely daunting and intimidating words, but true
morality is neither intricate nor complex, despite that the
subject has inspired the penning of countless books, billions of
words, has consumed the entire lifetimes of some and the
never-ending diatribe of many, seeming to demand far more time and
effort than most humans care to endure.
From our USA Declaration of
Independence, which states … “All men [have] certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.” These few words contain the essence of true
morality. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are
absolutes — they are not negotiable.
Contrary to common belief,
the above words are NOT contained within our Constitution. The
Constitutional 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. Anyway, while the
essence of
morality is contained within that simple phrase, it seems that
far too many do not bother to consider those words and relate those
to lives of true freedom.
THE RIGHT TO LIFE is
entirely a personal and individual right, which cannot exist except
that each person OWN their life and all which is necessary to
sustain and enhance Life. “Life” necessarily encompasses the entire
spectrum of the components of Humanoy.
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 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.
- 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 for those is strictly your Personal Choice.
How is your Life sustained
and enhanced? With Your Property — which is everything you own,
hopefully because you earned it! That 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 and all it creates and all it does to enable your
survival.
