Desiderata


Life is far better when a society values freedom over democracy, justice over peace, individual merit over social equality, and individual liberty over collective security. Ignorant, foolish, unprincipled, amoral societies which pursue these secondary and lesser values eventually achieve neither of them and deserve neither. Life is beautiful and wonderful when a society’s goals and ideals are intellectually and morally right. Rational, correct, perceptive, and noble goals and ideals generate the highest levels of individual satisfaction, tranquility, achievement, greatness, pleasure, and happiness, as well as social cooperation, harmony, solidarity, unity, brotherhood, and bliss.
