| We live to be contented, satisfied, and have occasional bouts of happiness. We have no divine right to anything, nor do we have a divine obligation to anything. Anybody who tells you different is trying to control you - which, of course, rather limits contentment, satisfaction and especially happiness. As such, how anybody can cling to petty vendettas for whatever reason is beyond me.
. . . whenever any government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. |
