Life

There are a few simple truths about life that you must realize. First we must live life in a manner that serves the greater good for all mankind. Second, the first truth does not imply that one should not strive to be an individual. Without a large pool of ingeniously creative ideas, progress towards the better is impossible. Third, the first truth does not imply a cold and sterile approach to the improvement of civilization. A general sense of contentment supplemented by occasional great joys and sorrows are absolute necessities; life would not be complete without them. We must grieve for that which we lose and is important to us. We must not miss a single opportunity to rejoice over the creation or discovery of what is good and beautiful. Life is good and beautiful except when it causes the destruction of all we hold dear. Fourth, the absolute goal of mankind is for every human to be happy while preserving their humanity and the natural environment on earth. Fifth, mankind's absolute goal will never be achieved but must forever be sought. Sixth, the first four truths are evident in an in-depth study of war, both past and present. The reason for this is that the threat of extinction forces us, as a society, to abide by the rules of nature most likely to preserve us.
