The Right Of The Human Being
By Donald D. Marchi
It is the birthright of every human being to be happy. This is not a right granted by a creator, but a right inherited from the beginning less time of the Universe. It is the most important pursuit of all human beings. Happiness, it is the purpose behind and the first cause of all human action. All action ideally ends in happiness, right?
But no, we can’t always be happy. Things are constantly changing, dependent origination occurs. Some events are good to some, and bad to others, so we suffer based souly on our desire and the fundamental Ignorants of creation. Thus, we struggle, the good and the bad continue and finding happiness becomes a cycle of life. We call this the pursuit of happiness, a deceptive term.
We all have different ideas of what happiness means. In the United States the people have a common understand of happiness. Our Founding Fathers created a form of government that is built with the undisputable truth that the human being is free and this freedom transends to the prosuit of this idea known as "The American Dream". But what it really means, is a personal right and responsibility to prosue our desires. It is the lynchpin of our Repuplic. But this freedom requires protection. The Constitution and our elected representatives are intrusted to do this.
Our freedom is a responsibility shared by the people and their government no matter where it exisit. A government that must deeply understand the needs of its electors, rooted in the origins and experiences of the people. This is paramount. It is a duty bestowed upon all people and their governments throughout the Universe.
It is the responsibility of each human being to help build a government that creates and protects our rights to prosue happiness, our desire. As a responsibility, a person should not, knowingly or unknowingly, place the burden of their own happiness on the back of another. We call this "personal responsibility", a cornerstone of all successful governments.
Likewise, no government should place the burden of a person not under its care onto those who are. This fundamental truth drives the creation of constitutional governments wherever human beings exist.
