If time and energy are valued at all amongst people, why on earth would a libertarian, the one amongst us who truly understands the value of capital and abhors, even fears its misallocation, ever bother to argue with anger, to ever even hate at all?*
Time is one of the most easily verifiable scarcities in existence. If you cannot persuade, if you cannot convince in an initial conversation, bow with respect and move on. We haven't the luxury of infinite time; every minute and every hour we spend exchanging nothing but negative value is another hour and another minute we lose, forever.*
With now nearing 7 billion people and growing every day, there surely exists people of your like mind, people with similar goals and dreams of your own, people whose values resemble yours, find them -- and do not stop until you do.*
When we are happy, when we are encouraged, when we find our conversations to be of deep and respectful interest and inquiry, all areas of our lives are in turn irrevocably affected. The dormant flames of our hearts will be ignited once again; our direction will become one of purpose, one of determination, one of exceeding joy.*
The most contagious thing in existence is not the death and decay of disease, but the love and life giving feeling of happiness. Be happy, and those around you will find their state and situation utterly unacceptable. The jealous desire for joy is what causes all men and all women to act in the first place.
*Find your kind, and do not cease until you do.*
Find happiness, and in it discover purpose and reveal true meaning.*
The state of the world is ultimately the responsibility and the fault of all of its present inhabitants alone. We cannot blame those that came before for the situations we find ourselves in. We cannot blame those that are to follow. And most importantly, those that are to follow do not deserve our idleness or our lack of effort or our lack of respect for them and their future.*
Therefore act, and act boldly;*
speak and speak loudly;*
love and love completely;*
live and live passionately,*
for we all stand to gain the whole world of endless possibility when we each of us chase our dreams unobstructed by the control of others, and we all stand to lose our very souls when we put aside our hopes and dreams and instead expend energy and the preciousness of time on hatred, the most negative of all value.*
First,
Abolish the War On Each Other
Then, and only then do we win the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans.
And then, we win this fucking election.
