No need for an imprimatur (#1440)

Now of course we are bounded by our own sense of morality, ethics, justice and equality etcetera, however with little sanction from a sovereign, we can express ourselves as we hope we are and can become. Taking the high road in life is emblematic of caring about what our destiny should and could look like to someone outside the reality we current reside within. I am not making any conclusion as to whether other realities exist, but if they do, it might be motivation enough for us to consider our actions even when no one is observing us. In that regard, we are self-monitoring our own behavior as our own enlightened sovereign. Every one of us has the right and the ability to live a life worthy of examination. We are all made of the same mixtures of what a human is and by grasping that and holding on tight, none of us is to be disregarded. There are levels of understanding that we are differentiated by but only because some have had greater access to information than others. The capacity to learn is often the subjective design of how we are forced to live within a society that cannot fulfill justice and equality at every turn. Advantages and privileges of some far exceed those of the many, which does add to the drift between our citizens. That is not the process of a society that can flourish in it's entirety. We are currently broken when it comes to respecting all of life by our actions and until that basic premise of knowing and expressing respect to each other can be understood, we will continue to dangle on the edge of uncertainty. That is why it is so crucial for all of us to find our voices, and not just for making noise but for demanding honorable principles in thought be actually honorable principles in action. We must, every one of us, claim our natural and enlightened human inheritance of expecting greater from ourselves as a baseline.
