People get ideas, think of something they want, believe something new—INVENT a right !
People DECLARE their new right, and others join, “We have our right(s).”
When people believe in something strongly enough, they become fanatic and DEMAND their rights, over the rights of others.
–
Yet, one time in history some God-fearing people looked at man differently and set straight the truth about our rights and our relationships.
A – – It is obvious because it is true that we are not our own, to invent who we are and where we came from, to make any of us better or worse than others.
B – – Repeating the truth of the source of our existence doubles the truth of the source of our rights.
We don’t invent our rights, and nothing can take away our rights—because of the source of our rights.
C – – Our rights are clear, specific, indisputable, universal, all-encompassing, fixed, permanent, inalienable—not subject to erosion by subversion—not superceded by other people’s ideas or their claims to other ‘rights’.
D – – FIRST RIGHT
Life is a right for every person.
No one, No group, No government can take any life, NOT ANY LIFE, from anyone who has not, or is not attempting, to take someone’s life.
E – – SECOND RIGHT
Liberty is a right for every person.
Born free—liberty is the first hallmark of life, from the same source that gives us both life and liberty.
Live free—liberty drives us, inspires us, compels us, empowers us—to strive for our best, and pursue life and freedom for others.
F – – THIRD RIGHT
Striving for happiness gives reasons for living, and living free.
G – – MORE RIGHTS
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness are highlights among others not listed.
Must now change ‘source’ in the lines above, to the Source, our Creator.
And that makes all the difference in the world !
Again,
One time in history some God-fearing people looked at man differently and set straight the truth about our rights and our relationships.
A – – It is obvious because it is true—“WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT”—that we are not our own, to invent who we are and where we came from—“CREATED”—, to make any of us better or worse than others—“CREATED EQUAL”—
B – – Repeating the truth of the source of our existence doubles the truth of the source of our rights—ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR”—
We don’t invent our rights, and nothing can take away our rights—because of the source of our rights—“BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN . . . RIGHTS”—
C – – Our rights are clear, specific, indisputable, universal, all-encompassing, fixed, permanent, inalienable—not subject to erosion by subversion—not superceded by other people’s ideas or their claims to other ‘rights’—“INALIENABLE RIGHTS”—
D – – FIRST RIGHT—“LIFE”—
Life is a right for every person.
No one, No group, No government can take any life, NOT ANY LIFE, from anyone who has not, or is not attempting, to take someone’s life.
E – – SECOND RIGHT—LIBERTY”—
Liberty is a right for every person.
Born free—liberty is the first hallmark of life, from the same source that gives us both life and liberty.
Live free—liberty drives us, inspires us, compels us, empowers us—to strive for our best, and pursue life and freedom for others.
F – – THIRD RIGHT—“PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS”—
Striving for happiness gives reasons for living, and living free.
G – – MORE RIGHTS
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness are highlights, with others not listed—“AMONG THESE [ARE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS”]—
Absolutely amazing, the anointing by God, to pack such eternal truths into those few opening words of the United States Declaration of Independence.
