Was the Constitution written to guarantee Live, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? Or, was it good only then and does not serve us well today? How the government writes new laws that reduce these rights is what we have to consider. Do you believe that all new laws should be written to further protect these three precepts – or further constrain or deny our rights?
I believe in life and that all should be able to live life as they choose. I believe life is a treasure as well as a mystery. I believe we have the right and should be allowed to live it as it was intended to be lived. No one should have the right to deny life as we will never fully understand how it begins nor how it ends. The denying actions of others should never serve to reduce the good actions of others.
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the hope, will and capacity to search for its own good or to seek evil ways. With liberty, I further believe in our inalienable right to be free from coercion. I believe in MY government so long as it places liberty at the capstone of our well-being and not merely to serve its own existence. Our government should enforce and create laws solely to protect our freedom; it should never seek to deny our freedoms. I believe in the right to own property, to maintain it against unwarranted seizure, and to live comfortably and freely within my own walls. This is of paramount importance to me as it should be to you. I believe in freedom of speech and of contract, the right to offend, the right to protect myself and family from others - including a tyrannical government. I believe that each of our freedoms is connected, in spite of the fact, that we are a very diverse society with diverse wills, we must strive to get along with one another. One’s freedom should not be able to trample over the freedoms of others, nor should others be able to trample the liberty of our own. The actions of a few/many should not serve to limit the hopes, desires and liberties of the few/many.
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. I believe that it is the journey in life which is of utmost importance and our defining factor - it is not the end-state of life that we should worry over. I believe in the struggle to remake ourselves and challenge one another, we should learn to forgive more, more so we should also learn how to forget. We should embrace all of our differences, so long as those difference are not thrust upon us or would have us comprises our beliefs. Just as we should consider our differences, we should maintain our own convictions and choose our own pursuits without fear of others choosing for us.
And I believe in MY country so long as it protects my life, my liberty and my Pursuit of Happiness. These three God given rights were an original a promise from my country just as they are a gift from God. This is what makes our Constitution great. I believe in MY country since it promises nothing less than the promise of being fully human, it never guarantees success or seeks to limit the pursuit of success. Failure is an option, not a choice!
And I believe any law that further denies any of these rights is in total disagreement with the Constitution and with God’s gift. As more and more unnecessary laws are written that redefine the original intent of Constitution and the words therein, they only serve to further enslave not empower.
