we create our lives

.

we are real and we are true, we are good and we are right, we are pure and we are free.

we choose to create lives, our lives, the lives of our dreams, lives drawn from the substance of truth, beauty, dignity, justice, and freedom.

to understand and appreciate what we long to be, have, and do, we start by asking: what could we live without, materially and spiritually?

materially, we trust we can have whatever we wish: work we love to do, as much money as we care to have, beautiful homes, carefree lifestyles.

spiritually, we trust that we can be lovers of life, that we can be masters of space and time, and that we can do whatever we wish, whenever we wish.

but if we trust that we can be, have, and do whatever we wish, whenever we wish, what could we live without? simple: everything - except our lives.

we could not live without our lives, which means we could not live without our natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

we are, as we are life; we have, as we have liberty; and we do, as we pursue our own happiness. our lives are the sum of all that we are, have, and do.

what could we live without? nothing. for all that we are, and all that we have, and all that we do, reflect and project the substance of our lives.
