The People’s Civil Purpose;
In the Defense of Our Founding Fathers
The Truth Is We Are Existential Beings
While mirrors deceive providing tyranny with a false image of itself, animals and plants are the true intimate reflection of mankind. Take them away and mankind would become blind to who he or she is. Not only do we need animals and plants as fuel to eat, but we also utilize them mentally by personifying them. For example, the method of personifying animals is used in fables to teach children.
Simply put, anything less than a complete human being troubles something within us: the glimpse of a body part sickens us; the sight of a handicapped person saddens us; the thought of a coward angers us; and, learning someone has died devestates us.
Even more central than existentialism, the very least living amongst us knows what is the most important quality in human beings. Ask any child to draw a person and they will not only draw a stick figure of him or her, but they will know the picture of them is incomplete without including an upward curve of a smile on their faces. Because people with all of their might will never behave responsibly, the political movement away from the people's happiness is irresponsible.
This is a subtle point. A mother will never rush her child to a doctor because she senses he looks unhealthy. No, she is not an expert in symptoms. She will always rush her child to a doctor because he doesn’t look whole to her, as in happy. “Normal” does not cut it if you are a true American.
Just think how absurd the idea is that a mature human being will care any more or less about matters concerning them. Granted, some people are going to be born with the innate administrative functions to care about certain things more than others. In other words, I do believe some people are born with a real, sincere love for trees, for the stars, or for birds. But we should all hold our administrative gifts as secondary in importance to our Civil Purpose, that Truth which is self evident and unalienable within every human conscience.
The evil movement back towards tyranny and away from the Truth is a bipartisan affair. In other words, in regards to our problems, we have no one to blame but ourselves. The idea that we should clean up “our” environment will only work from the point of view of our happiness. Indeed, we will all want to do this if it pleases us to do it. However, if most of us are being made to do this for responsible sake, then the earth will surely wind up becoming even more filthy than it is right now. Besides, the worst pollution persecuting mankind is and always will be tyranny. As the environmental movement has become perverted in how it is leading our nation away from existential idea of human happiness, the Civil Rights have corrupted the people's movement. As the Civil Rights movement did at one time address the unhappiness of the people, it now has a selfish agenda centering around just people of color. To claim that African Americans somehow represent the eternal plight of the people is like cutting the heart out of a person to claim that it represents a whole human being.
Once again, this leads us back to the ideal marriage between the lowly prostitute trespassing on the street and the high king sitting upon his throne. As the prostitute has a lot of work to do dealing with the existential burden she was born with, the king should work twice as hard getting out of her way by legislating, administering, and judging as little as possible at the national dinner table.
