Murder: Life, Liberty, Property

Life, Liberty, Property
Not only inalienable rights; but the basis for all human action and interaction.

What people live for, die for, and kill for. This principle doesn't only apply to humans but all life.

Animals seek to defend against anything that threatens their life, liberty and property. They will even kill to protect these things.

Humans are animals. We live by the same basic principles as other animals do. We will do whatever it takes to protect our life, liberty, and property. What's different is The threats aren't as cut and dry as they are in the rest of the animal kingdom. We have to decide if the threat is great enough to warrant taking another's inalienable rights. There really is no such thing as a perceived threat to other animals. If the lion sees you, it's going to try to eat you. Lions stalk to kill, not to terrorize.
The only difference between humans and animals is method (technology) and assuming other people care what we think (higher language). The desires are the same; have and will always be the same. Eat, sleep, fuck, live.

In human society, we've created a system, justice, that allows authority figures to decide if these rights are actually being infringed upon and the proper retribution for that infringement.
We've decided that a civil society can not allow individuals to take away another's life, liberty, and property without the consent of the rest of society (due process of law). Even if one kills in defense of their own life, it is still brought before a court so others can validate the act.

Curing the fool

"It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt." Quote by IDK.

Clever quote but I find it doesn't work well for me. In my life I find that a silent fool remains a fool. A vocal fool, who is around good people, will get called out on their bullshit; thus educating the fool.

I tend to talk out of my ass a lot. There is an advantage to this. I have all these preconceived notions that go unchallenged when I keep them to myself. If I say something and get criticism, it makes me delve deeper into my beliefs. I then research and question and sometimes find that my perception needs to change or at least broaden a bit.

So, if I sound like a moron, well, that's because I am... But, I'm always improving.

Our Deepest Fear

Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.

We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
