A free society is one that lives with the decree, "No one is greater than those who are happy and work to make others happy around them". This kind of a free society would also see that selfishness and apathy are the true elements of an uncivilized autocrat. The idea of a "governing" body of people would be assembled from all those who put others before ones self. The participants in this kind free society are not victims of prejudices, anger, jealousy, or guilt. Nor is anything seen greater than the preservation of all life and the allowance of any life to be lived to the greatest potentials that are humanly possible. These ideals, would be the character of a society free from tyranny and oppression. The opposition to these ideas, would be exactly what led the Nazi's to systematically destroy thousands of innocent Jewish people.
The freedom we seek as a civilization can be summed up with an analogy about the nature of procreation. Within the act of conception, we are ensuring a future where the opportunity to continue a free society can and will exist. At birth, we are liberated, into a world where we have an opportunity to partake in our own lives. Yet throughout our lives, it is our own personal responsibility to educate ourselves, to contribute to experience, and to help others with the life that we have been benefited with. All of these things are given to us, freely, by the Universe, and the fulfillment of them is ensured by our personal right to live without the constraints of oppression or any tyrannical system.
While we can honestly understand that within life their are responsibilities grafted upon us by the Divine, we must also understand that all fall short of divinity when measured against even our own selves. Thus, no man shall be fit to lead others, that cannot understand the bond between what is considered the natural laws and mankind; and what is known as perversion against these universal laws. Anyone who dares to judge using their interpretation of these laws (instead of teaching a fuller understanding of these laws) is in direct conflict with the whole of natural law:
"Judge not and you will not be judged", or as natures says "Kill and be killed".
No single person can hold dominance and rule over another, just as a tree cannot hold authority and power over the animals and birds that live upon it. A symbiotic system is truly, a free system. So, if nature is to be understood as a harmonious balance between all flora, fauna, beast, insect, and creature, than mankind is to its own self; also a member of this balance. It is rhetorical to note, that this balance of harmony should be a contingent between each man, woman, and child. Because the balance that humanity holds to itself, affects the very essence of order throughout all systems in the natural world. If we tarnish the perspective on our society, then the environment around us also falls into discourse. And, if we maintain a course of destruction upon ourselves, then our environment will seek to re-balance itself from it's disease it knows as, Man.
Our perspective on today's society is an important one. The inheritance of mankind's future hangs on the threads of our conscious actions. What we choose to do today ultimately defines what is in store for us tomorrow. For if we allow ourselves to become enslaved by our animosity and our egocentric attitudes then we have truly forfeited our natural rights to live freely and happily as a civilization. Each person may have his/her own fate, but why should we burden the entirety of mankind with our own self-produced holocaust?
This is the meditation for today's generation:
....To stand together and erase our indecencies, before natural consequences erase all of us and our opportunity of any future.....
