YOU DON'T HAVE TO

You don't have to live smartly.

You don't have to be prudent.

You don't have to live without risk.

You don't have to have health insurance.

You don't have to avoid junk food.

You don't have to invest wisely.

You don't have to vote.

You don't have to give charity.

You don't have to act a certain way, look a certain way, speak a certain way.

You only have to be free...free to do or not do all of those things and thousands of others, as you choose, without control by others.

Why must you be free? Because you are alive not as a pebble or a grain of sand but as a glorious wondrous human being and LIFE requires you to live in harmony with your nature as a human being. Failure to do so is a living DEATH.

In essence, it is this:

Humans = Composite of mind and body facing life and death alternative + conceptual faculty + capacity to choose = need to be free to act

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU MUST BE FREE, YOU SOON WILL NOT BE. AND THEN YOU'LL KNOW.
