Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness cannot be substantiated by man’s intolerance of his fellow human being. Whether it be molded by ignorance, greed, irreverence or an innate darkness which has not yet been disciplined by the light, those truths which we hold to be intrinsically evident are only as such because we are given the simple but profound privilege of life itself. A life which we take for granted is not a life at all. It is a prison in which we are held by beliefs which further the illusion that the darkness and that which fuels it is the key to humanity’s survival. One cannot survive on darkness alone, especially a darkness which does not yield to the light in which all truths carry equal weight for all humanity.
