(#6014) Pursue your happiness but do no harm!

      Understand this please! There are things in this world that are not worthy of intentionally or unintentionally doing harm to others. So to violate the do no harm axiom is to violate one's morality and/or ethics. How can that be pursuing happiness? If harm is the logical outcome of one's pursuit of happiness then that is not happiness, that is self gratification. We have many among us who are pleasing themselves at the expense of harming others. That cannot be allowed and should not continue under any circumstance. Our species is troubled with impulses and desires that are not reasoned out with logical cause and effect.
     Many of us have had to overcome impulses to act as wild animals when our urges and impulses were being discovered. We overcame them because more than wild animals we are civilized and intelligent enough to know that our natures have evolved beyond the origins of our species. Where once we were in a constant survival mode thus savages to each other we are now brothers and sisters within a society that is enlightened and forward thinking. We are not our ancestors nor should we be. We are not still Neanderthals nor the later Cro-Magnons generally. We are a more modern human form differing in the evolution of our priorities.
     What was once considered a necessity is now not allowed. We are not those from our early origins, we are the amazing byproduct of them. We have a clearer and more panoramic view of life and the destinies it presents. Our own personal happiness is tied up with the happiness of every other soul living in our existence. For those who would believe that they are a better form of life than anyone else is seriously in a bad mental health way. It is past time that we honor every human being with protecting their inalienable right to pursue their happiness with causing or being harmed. It really is that simple if we would just adjudicate our laws equally.
