K: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…
if we hold these words to be true, and I do, then we must to the best of our
abilities, share what we can with those who need it…even if they
don’t met our “standards” of working hard or unable or unwilling to gain
wisdom…in the pursuit of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”,
which is the minuim in regards to what one should expect out of life,
because being human is enough to justify our investment in both people
and the human race…is enough to give to people even if they don’t met with
our approval…I happily give my taxes to give to those who need it, even
if I don’t approve of them…
this lies in the idea of society in which we are connected…
there isn’t you and me, there is us…that idea of society is
the one we need to follow…it is about the betterment of society…
and the fact is, like any system, the system is only as strong as the
weakest link… and if we don’t take care of those who need it, then
what does it say about us, as human beings…and the betterment
of society is about all of us, not just the strong among us…
the strong can take care of themselves, it is those who can’t take
care of themselves who we must do everything in our power to take care of…
why?
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal”
and being created equal, means we must treat everyone equal and promote
the values that equality suggest… for from equality comes justice…
to treat equal is to be just…Equality and justice are the same thing…
but I am sure you have a problem with justice also…
for the nature of man requires both equality and justice…
