Thank you for an insightful article - these principles and concepts were, at one time, taught in English Composition classes from senior year high school through MA level.

This powerful statement should be front and centre in the UK, Australia and Germany today.

“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”

That's the thing. There is a time and place to be "heart centered." I'm not convinced though,that this is the best strategy when our actual the overlords and their minions are cutting off our children's genitals, weponizing the mentally ill, deceitfully skimming and transferring our nation's wealth and resources, dumbing down our educational systems, ushering pedophiles and creeps into little girls bathrooms, and at least two dozen other serpentine depravities. It's past time to grasp the difference between "compassion," which is what the forefathers had in spades, and "empathy"- probably one of the most effective munitions of the post modern left. Keep buying into their framework at your children's eventual peril.

Oh, and didn't the framers have to fight a war?

I believe once one understands that conventional media is designed to spark emotions and create mass perception on topics that move desired agendas, one has the choice to feed the agenda with their energy, or to starve the agenda by turning off the source of the manipulation.

The Declaration of Independence is actually a Populist Manifesto.

It is the polar opposite of statism.

33 is a master number and true adulthood. Jefferson was totally bold and secure within himself when he made that declaration--and had concern and caring for everyone he was speaking for, then and now!

Tja, that made me stop and think...and a good job too. Much of my own writing lately could use that advice

It isn't though, the duplicity of the British elite knows no bounds

People should push your link on AMD's 'What made Doctors Do the Right Thing?". The article is amazing.

I recognize that lack of extreme rush when expectations are met, and definitely see how it could be one factor that brings resilience against brain washing and falling for fads and social tsunamis.

This very much could be what fuels the need to think out things for myself, and why I bailed on my health career twice in efforts to do the right thing.

That blunting of euphoria is probably hereditary to some extent. And ya it might be self reinforcing.

It's a slow steady 80% happy that I experience instead, though not during the early COVID times when it took effort to repel the negativity and to find a new way to express my purpose.

Helping others get religious exemptions from the jabs comprised the best pharmaceutical interventions of my career.

I do believe that opening up your heart can help to bring resilience against becoming part of the mob, and gaining the ability to find your own center and purpose.

Seeking the Creator is in your DNA, so go ahead and do that.

It is good to revisit this document regularly. Read it carefully. Unfortunately it's demise began swiftly and decidedly at the institution of the War of Norther Aggression, and has progressed until there is nothing familiar about it to our form of present government. Nothing.

Our media has moved from event reporting, actually going out and seeing for yourself then coming back and to the office and actually writing it, then having it edited not to change the story, but to fit in a time constraints. Now, nobody goes out to get a story, they wait for their propaganda to land on their desk, dont review anything, they're taught to read a teleprompter or read off a tablet and mindlessly spew the words they see.
