A Destiny to Master

Taking hold of your presence in the universe is oft a great task to grasp. Your existence relies on your efforts to maintain itself. Without input your being within reality ceases. It ends abruptly, however strong the desire to continue.

This world offers you the freedom to think, feel and live. I argue however that it is the masses that are prepared to command other's individuality for their own personal gain, throwing liberty to the dogs. I do not call this a system of kindness or necessary human action, but taxation. Despite forever promoting the interests of the public, it is through the rule of government that humanity has become enslaved unwittingly. Through this, the goal of government and central planning becomes justified, but in no way does it subscribe morality to its cause. Plundering effort by the collective stakeholders is always theft; always an assault on liberty and your right to life.

Despotism holds a new name – democracy.

Should another have sway upon your life's dividend, I ask why? I ask how? I ask what right there is to challenge one's existence and force compensation where none is due. For every dollar that is taken from me, for every minute of labour I have contributed that does not return to me, it equates to just as much bondage – just that much of my life stolen.

Seemingly the world is created on non-effort; at least this is what a socialist may have you believe. That the world gives, or ought to give more than is distributed freely, is a fallacy that has no future in the millennia to come.

With those that agree with social freedoms, there is a tendency to place economic freedoms in a different category. If you support a person’s right to euthanasia (in effect, their right to do what they please with their life), and at the same time agree with redistributed wealth, there would be little consistency to your views. If consistency isn’t within your views, then there is no foundation to your convictions – there is no logic!

The nature of humans to divide and group certainly provides a strong inclination against freedom, but it can rarely be justified when looking at the core of our existence. We all have the right to pursue our own destiny, and at the same time, have no right to direct another’s. It remains yours to conquer and nobody else’s.
