Something ain’t ideal and we all understand it.
Are we just gon na give up on the best country in the history of the world?.
Or are we gon na defend flexibility and a growing future?
They always tell us we’re at an unique turning point.
But this time, they’re in fact right.
You know it. I know it. You know that I understand it. I understand that you know it.
And they understand that we all know it.
What are we going to do about it?.
Well, I’ve got a few ideas …
First off …
Be an individualist.
The American Heritage Dictionary specifies a lone wolf as “one that asserts individuality by independence of idea and action.”.
If that sounds self-indulgent, it is. Why is that bad?
Everything in your life begins with you– our mindset, how you project yourself to the world, whether you take obligation for your own actions..
The Founders of America sought to develop a government whose primary function was to secure the liberty of the person. After that, as far as George, Ben, and Tom were concerned, you were on your own..
Nobody saw this more plainly than the 19th-century French author, Alexis de Tocqueville. He pertained to America to see what all the turmoil had to do with and was absolutely blown away.
This new American democracy– what he called, “the equality of conditions”– was not merely a brand-new method to govern, he realized, but a new method to live. For de Tocqueville, American individualism was not about being self-indulgent, however about being self-reliant.
Federal government can’t guarantee your happiness, but it must guarantee your right to pursue it.
This is the only way to make progress on a national level and still be authentically inclusive. Due to the fact that where true flexibility exists there will be individualism, and where individualism exists there will be true liberty.
But being an independent is simply the start.
You need to likewise …
Be a Family..
There are great deals of ways to determine the strength of a society. However family needs to be at the top of the list..
This struck me really deeply one night during Jordan Peterson’s worldwide lecture tour in 2019 which I hosted. Jordan and I were leaving the theatre after our show in Dublin, Ireland. Two guys ran towards us..
Wiping tears from their eyes, they told us their story. On their own individual timelines, they had both bought Jordan’s book, 12 Rules for Life, and began fixing up their lives.
Separately, they had actually gone to the show. As countless people left the theater, they saw each other in the crowd, and– best then and there, after so much time and so much distress– they accepted and apologized. The family bond was brought back.
How important is family?
According to a 2019 American Enterprise Institute survey, which asked participants to rank characteristics of the American Dream, a great family life ranked number two, right behind flexibility of choice.
It’s not a surprise. It’s within the nurturing bonds of household we discover to handle the world.
As soon as you have your head screwed on straight and you’ve made things right with your family, then you’re prepared to carry on to the next level of real social enhancement … Be a Community.
There are all kinds of neighborhoods.
It’s your church or synagogue. It’s your neighbors. It’s the ladies you fulfill for brunch or the guys you play basketball with. It’s the group of individuals that understand you and appreciate you. And you care about them.
Beside breathing and maybe a couple of other things, I do not know what’s more necessary than that..
When George Bailey’s brother toasts George at the end of the classic movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, “to the richest guy in the area,” we know precisely what he’s discussing– George’s community..
Are you catching the theme here?
When individuals are healthier, the household is healthier, and in turn, so is society.
It’s apparent … We understand it.
Which is why those on the left oppose all of it– every piece.
