LET'S LIVE WITHOUT HARMING!: LET'S RESPECT THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS

One way to harm someone is to take away their freedom, a treasure highly valued by many people and other sentient beings. Because, according to scientific research, it has a significant correlation with happiness, and the lack of freedom with discomfort and suffering, both at an individual and country level.

That is one of the reasons why the states that lead the world happiness rankings are also among the top positions in human, economic, and press freedom indices: Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Iceland, etc. And, according to multiple surveys, it is in dictatorships, whether far-left, far-right, theocratic, or of another type, where their inhabitants experience less well-being on average.

Freedom is so important that the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights begins this way:

“Article 1. All human beings are born free.”

And it mentions freedoms again in Articles 2 and 3.

LET’S NOT STEAL THIS VALUABLE JEWEL, NOR LET IT BE STOLEN FROM US!

Because all sentient beings are free by birthright and therefore can do with our life, death, body, and mind what we deem appropriate, with 3 limits:

• Do no harm to anyone, except in self-defense. Read more…

• Fulfill agreements freely made and just laws.

• Assume our responsibilities regarding the beings in our care.

Freedom means that we have the right to:

• Follow customs and traditions or not, imitate the majority or not, follow social norms or not, do as the Romans do or not, express ourselves, dress as we wish, do things our own way, be different, innovative, and even extravagant, but not to abuse anyone, no sentient being.

LIVE WITHOUT HARMING:: Express yourself and let others express themselves

HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT HARMING?: Let’s appreciate diversity

• Think for ourselves and reject parts of the education received that we do not consider correct.

FOR A WORLD WITHOUT HARM: Let’s think for ourselves and erase toxic indoctrination

THE ART OF LIVING WITHOUT HARMING: Let’s oppose poisonous dogmatism

• Not associate with those who abuse us.

• Be single, have several polyamorous relationships, or only one partner, with whom we can agree on a closed or open relationship, although freely agreed pacts must be fulfilled. If this proves impossible, instead of deceiving, let’s tell the truth and seek a solution.

• Not have sex and have it, even with many different people, as long as it is freely consented. And with people of the opposite gender, the same gender, or both. And even choose whether we want to be men, women, or another different gender if we feel that way.

THE REVOLUTION OF LIVING WITHOUT HARMING: Not even promiscuous and/or sexually free women

• Make mistakes and not choose the option with the most advantages and fewest drawbacks, as long as we assume responsibility for our actions and omissions, since we are both free and responsible.

• Work in what we like and freely decide what we do with honestly obtained wealth, including our properties and businesses, once the fair amount of taxes has been paid.

• And so on and so forth.

However, all of the above must take into account that our freedom ends where the freedoms and rights of others begin, including non-human animals. Because otherwise it is called an abuse.

Although there are regressions in some countries, the rapid evolution in general towards greater levels of freedom across the planet since the Enlightenment in the 18th century gives us reason to be optimistic and think that this process will continue to grow in the coming years, sometimes taking two steps forward and one back. But for this, it is necessary that we also do our part to break the chains that still remain in each country.

Two particularly thick ones are modern human slavery and that of hundreds of billions of sentient beings, kidnapped and exploited against their will on industrial farms, fish farms, and laboratories. Because they would never choose to live that way, to be mutilated without anesthesia and mistreated in multiple ways.

LET’S AVOID HARM!: Let’s rebel against modern slavery

LET’S LIVE WITHOUT HARMING!: Let’s not be complicit in animal abuse on industrial farms

LIVE WITHOUT HARMING:: Let’s not make fish suffer

HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT HARMING?: No to painful animal experiments in laboratories

Let’s also avoid the 5 great repressive enemies of freedom and sign to demand freedom and quality democracies worldwide… read more…
