THOUGHTS ON THE FOURTH OF JULY - repost


fireworks.gif (240×320)          "All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". We are all created equal. A few thoughts about that. 
     Number one: created. Number two: where are those liberty and happiness? There's no question: this world does not match the ideals expressed in the Constitution. Millions of people not only lack liberty and happiness, but the very right to live comes to them with a hefty price. We were created. We are somebody's creations. We should know, whether that Somebody wants us to excel and thrive or if He (She?) doesn't care either way. The things we do to each other and to ourselves are incomprehensible! If we are all made by the same Creator, we should treat our brothers and sisters differently, don't you think? So, are we all equal? I say, "No!"      Shocked? Here is what I think: God created us with equal rights, but the Creator didn't endow us with equal degree of love, tact, brains and common sense. That makes all the difference. Was it a joke? An experiment? Did they get tired of it, as well as of our stubborn ignorance, and abandoned the experiment to run itself? Or did He (She?) mean for us to balance out each other's deficiencies and strive to achieve a harmony that He and She have within Them? We live and we die and we teach our children the things, we believe to be true. Let's make sure, we, ourselves, think them through and realize, what we want from life and each other. Let's find the balance which will allow us to be truly alive, free and full of happiness.

  1. Too much thinking. Not enough feeling. I am not interested in conjectures.I like practical information.

    And yes, we were all created equal, in value, but we are all certainly different.

    I am not interested in arguments. If you want to argue, please find someone else.

  2. Pablo, what are you talking about? Who is arguing?

  3. Actually, (and I'm writing it not to argue with Pablo, but for the sake of others, who may be reading the comments), ACTUALLY, I felt pretty impassioned, while composing this post. Those are my thoughts, I don't expect anyone to agree with them or criticize them.
