Life should still be about fun (#521)

Most all of my posts are relatively serious and should be so. However, occasionally having fun gives the perspective as to why my posts should be serious. It is because when we have honed our society and life experiences to better circumstances, we get to enjoy the reward of accomplishment. All work and no play make for a dull life. The purpose we hope to craft, a better society, is not unfamiliar. It is so that our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness has equal footing for all of us as to viably achieve. I must take time out of my determined effort to write and talk about the nature of humanity, in hopes of understanding what type of society best fits all of us, to express and be apart of the joy that life offers. The goal is before us. If I was satisfied with some sort of untoward framework similar to what Hobbes (Leviathan), Machiavelli (The Prince) or Plato (The Republic) forwarded then life would be a yoke instead of a boundless opportunity. I must continue to search my nature, and by extension, yours as well and consider how that would fit within a societal framework that exhibits what is best about us. The purpose for society is to maintain security and keep us busy being constructive. If society can give us possibilities that capture our imagination and fill us with hope for our future then we are on the beginning of the right track. Just as important though is actually having happiness and fulfillment manifest in each of our lives.
