Producing and appreciating values will solve America’s problems (Part 2 of 3)

Productive beings should reap the rewards and happiness that they have earned.  Those who are non-productive should not automatically receive.  Fruits of our labor are the only way we can prosper and live happily.  Pretending to be happy is not our natural state.  Producing values, for self and others, is our natural state and is full of happiness.

There is only one valid authority, the authority of rational consciousness.  This is an individual’s way to abiding happiness, individual competence and self-supporting prosperity.

Who else has the right, or can, determine for another how best to live or what we should produce for others?  Only self can integrate reality with its unique situation, and, then choose how best to live by producing maximum values for self which will benefit society.  No boss, friend, family member or higher authority can determine our individual situations.  Only through honest self-examination and forward thinking can we all make this determination.

Since business is the extension of the conscious, productive individual, then it stands to reason that business can only flourish when the founder and employees are productive and conscious throughout their days.  Anything or anyone who stands in the way of creativity or productivity is a drain on society.

No one should receive recognition for how an employee performs.  It is up to the employee to perform, and, therefore, the employee is the only one who can honestly receive the rewards for their individual efforts.  Somehow we have taken that reward from the producers and creators.  Executives, owners, government take the credit for another’s labor.  Those not working accept the benefits provided by others efforts, including taxes, to sustain their lives.  Sustaining life is not adequate enough to create happiness.  It is only enough to allow living in a rut, a boring, unhappy existence.    Currently there are millions who are working to provide health insurance benefits for themselves and family members.  If a health care bill passes, will they choose to quit working, too?  What do we sacrifice for values?

Wake up Americans, before you sacrifice your health care, to the good of yourself.  Understand a universal health care plan is only a quick-fix to a larger problem.  A temporary solution which will bring everyone to the standard of living that, at present, only the unemployed and under-paid individuals must succumb to.
