Changing Think Destiny government
BIG QUESTIONS..... SELF EVIDENT ANSWERS

How did the Universe come into being?  How did random particles of matter become alive and so infinitely complex?  What is the source of our life, spirit, and consciousness? 

  • What do we know?
  • What do we not know?
  • What will we never know?

Why do I exist?  What should I do with my life?  How do I determine my destiny?  Do I truly have a destiny?

  • Might we be but random quirks of nature where life is ultimately meaningless?
  • Might a Creator exist and life have an ultimate meaning? 
  • Isn't my destiny, and my ability to reach it, one of the most important issues of life, no matter what you believe?
  • The hidden question is: do I exist to reach my own destiny, or do I exist to align with the goals of government and the social agenda of other people?

If we are now highly polarized, doesn't that mean we are of two minds?

  • Those who wish to keep their liberty and be free
  • Those who wish to gain power, regulate, control and fundamentally change America at the price of liberty

Isn't this the same battle that has been waged throughout history with the same result each time:  people fight for liberty, government grows, government represses, people rebel and fight to be free once again?

  • What point in this process are we at now?
  • What does history say about our current course of action and cultural philosophy?
  • Have we become like the nations people fled to come to America? 
  • Why is it so difficult to keep any country free for any length of time?

For insights into these BIG, BIG Questions, and...."self-evident" common sense answers, we start with.....

QUOTES TO RUMINATE ABOUT

“Liberty is not the means to a higher political end. It is the highest political end.”
Lord Acton, Lecture, 1877

"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." (TARP, Clunkers, Health Care, Stimulus, Green Jobs, much more)
Rahm Emanuel, Interview, 2008

“Necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.”
William Pitt, English PM, Speech in House of Commons, 1783

“Man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that great gift of freedom.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, "The Brothers Karamazov", 1881

"Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks.  Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools.  And their grandchildren are once more slaves."
D.H. Lawrence, Classical American Literature, 1922

“Not so, brothers and friends, — please God, ours shall not be so. We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds… A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The American Scholar”, Harvard University, 1837
