“Since you own your life, you are responsible for your life. You do not rent your life from others who demand your obedience. Nor are you a slave to others who demand your sacrifice. You choose your own goals based on your own values. Success and failure are both the necessary incentives to learn and to grow. Your action on behalf of others, or their action on behalf of you, is only virtuous when it is derived from voluntary, mutual consent. For virtue can only exist when there is free choice.” LifeActionValuesChoicesGrowsGoalVirtueSacrificeDemandResponsibleSlaveObedienceMutualYou ChooseVirtuousConsentBehalfIncentivesSuccess And FailureFree Choice Author:Ken Schoolland
“Having confidence in a free society is to focus on the process of discovery in the marketplace of values rather than to focus on some imposed vision or goal. Using governmental force to impose a vision on others is intellectual sloth and typically results in unintended, perverse consequences. Achieving the free society requires courage to think, to talk, and to act - especially when it is easier to do nothing.” ThinkingValuesForceProcessGoalFreedomResultsLibertyVisionFocusAchieveEasierIntellectualDiscoveryConsequenceMarketplaceFree SocietySloth Author:Ken Schoolland
