It's easy, really easy...
We live in a reality, all of us, you know that and I know that...those who tell you otherwise have a mind to control you...as humans we have our five senses that put us in touch with that reality...five senses and five senses only...when we believe something to be part of that reality without any of our senses proving that to us, we are in unreality..which is nonexistence, a nothingness, in which there is nothing to be gained, nothing to be enjoyed...
Reality, that is, what is out there, objectively exists independent of what we subjectively think in our minds...the opinions of others as to what is true, absent existential proof, does not determine reality...in philosophy that is referred to as the primacy of existence, existence is real and true, opinions may or may not be...education is the learning of what is out there so that we may better use it to enrich and enhance and extend our lives...
Reality dictates four things we must do to live...two of which are programmed into us and that we do automatically: breathing and heart beating...two of which we must choose to do: eating and drinking, and reality reminds us of those two via hunger and thirst...everything else we do or don't do has been blessedly left to our own choosing, and that includes our choice of career, whom to love, how to find happiness... and even the choice to live totally or at times in unreality...though the more time we exist in unreality, the greater the risk that we will not survive in reality...
Each of us, though we may be a part of a family, society, race, religion or other group, live and die as individuals...we are each an independent being...we each have the capacity to choose the course of our life...the sole authority of the government we have established is to protect and guarantee our freedom to make those choices...anyone, any society, any government, that seeks to forcefully impose dominion over our lives to any extent, great or small, to limit our freedom to choose, whether in the name of our general welfare or not, and no matter how noble or humanitarian you may think it to be, is violating our individual sovereignty and committing the most insidious crime against us...what you may think of what they are doing does not alter the reality of it...
It's as easy as that.
