Every man or woman a Sovereign Individual, bound only by the constraints of an illumined conscience.

A perfect portrayal of the Original Estate of Man, by the colossal John Locke.

Diligence and labor, and diligent labor, are not, necessarily, means of deliverance from desperation.

The Fall has rendered life and labor dualistic, occasionally sweet and commonly bitter.

In the absence of Virtue, even labor, which was ordained to be inherently honorable, can be rendered ignoble or, at best, a duel edged sword.

Intention, purpose and Values make the defining difference.

When and where Life is honored and Liberty prevails, a reflective of reality observation.

In totalitarian and authoritarian polities,
the inverse is true, characteristically.

Live to be honest and disdain no honest labor, for all honest labor is honorable.

Lamentably, to the monumentally great detriment of India, Mrs. Gandhi was an exponent and practitioner of inimical to salutary character development socialism, under which the unconstrained proliferation of the latter personality type characteristically occurs.

Your work is to discover the Kingdom and yourself, then to, with all your heart, give yourself to your ordained work, which is your calling.

Where Virtue resides and Liberty abides,
every man and woman is a Sovereign Individual, the dignity of whose humanity and individuality are naturally, necessarily, honored.

Characteristically, is infralapsarian Man just or prejudicial in his judgments?

Justice is an aspirational Ideal, one that has been most commonly realized in those polities in which Liberty is also an aspirational Ideal.

Liberty and Justice are inextricable Ideals.

Prelapsarian Man was ordained to cultivate and keep the Garden.

Infralapsarian Man is ordained to earn his keep by the sweat of his brow.

Noble labor is a necessary concomitant of Life and Liberty for:

Ex nihilo nihil fit.

The perfection of philosophy is realized in the penetration of Virtue illumined discernment.

Where Virtue resides, freedom of expression cannot but abide.

A poignant counterpoint to the tenets of the Theory of Evolution.

An incontrovertible verity, exquisitely elegantly expressed by the American Colossus who was George Washington.

As it is written:

" And on the seventh day, God rested
from his labors ..."

~ Genesis 2:2

A right sense of proportionality is a wonderful thing to possess.

In this day, characteristically, it is the most virulently racially minded among us who, to advance their totalitarian ideology animated agendas, reflexly resort to invoking the specter of the racism of any whom they esteem to be their political opponents.

In America and Europe, a device that is the unfailing refuge of scoundrels.

A rightly operable conscience functions first to constrain, then to convict.

In every sphere, right motivation makes the defining difference.

Rightly motivated repentance is redemptive in character.

Wrongly motivated repentance is a pragmatic exercise.

Objectively, the lot of Fallen Man is to be punished by and, ultimately, for his sins.

Without Virtue, where is integrity.

As Tom Paine expressed it:

" Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the bowers of the ruins of paradise."

For a brief shining moment, in the day of the Founding and its early aftermath, a quote that did not comprehensively bear on the American Experience.

What is it that is requisite?

The ennoblement of human character by all enlightening Agape.

For Agape does, indeed, cover a multitude of sins.

In the absence from the People of Virtue illumined discernment, the feasibility and viability of Liberty is a chimera.

The lifeblood of the sovereignty of the Sovereign Individual is his or her Virtue illumined discernment.

The nobility of a truly Noble message far transcends the mortal limitations of its messenger.

As the Apostle Paul expressed it:

" But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels ..."

~ 2 Corinthians 4:7

An intellect not subsumed under a Virtue tempered character is a rogue intellect.
