There are only two forms of ignorance: one is the case in which we do not know the cause of an action, the other is in thinking that the action is ignorant.

The true religion of this country is Liberty, Individuality, Greed and Revenge (Which some call Justice)

Greed and Revenge? I just let Karma do what it does because there are things that are just not my place.
True Religion seems more like Greed, Sheep, & viral cell phone video

Life is the Will to do or not do. The world is choice, and of those choices, there is Desire or Duty. This is the flame of the fire of fire as it strikes matter. The result of this process is either joy or sorrow: success or fail, and the environment either benefits us or is against us, and in all of these is the cause of our suffering.

Do you choose sorrow or joy? You can adapt to your environment. You don't have to be like the environment around you. |

To some degree we can choose how we respond, while others are unable to control how they react. Obviously we are not all learned and seasoned and able to control our emotions.

In order to make sense of economics and the value of Human life, we have to place a numerical value on life. Until the day that everything is done for us, we have to work at production, and we need to produce to survive. Desire has to take a back seat to Duty.
Let us then say that every human is worth a dollar, and if there is a rate that this dollar is granted let us say it is by the hour. Now ten people join together and produce something worth 10 dollars, and so when you learn what they designed you are now worth 10 dollars. This is inherently a pyramid plan of rising in worth and ability. We cannot avoid the fact that we start out worth only a dollar, and in fact, we should monitor this well, for in doing so we will create a fair payment and expectation on human life. The problem with our economy is that when we produce something worth 10 we sell it for 40, escalating the cost of attaining this product, even though it is only worth 10.
When it comes to those that cannot produce, we figure that when we keep them alive with aid that their money returns immediately to society- no one on welfare is getting rich. We should also provide the means to learn and be worth more than a dollar for these people. When one cannot earn or produce, their value is in their consumption, and in consuming, they return the money given back into the pool, but what we would hope one would want is to be able to earn and produce, and that they would be worth more than a dollar when they do, for in life, we want nice things, security, and the ability to afford our Desires as well as manage our Duties, and this ability costs more than can be earned by being worth only a dollar.

So much of the promises of Heaven are the indulgences that we chose to deny ourselves in life, and so it would seem that these "moral" choices are not so moral after all, for if they are allowed in Gods kingdom, then why not here? It is possible to enjoy the fruit of Heaven in life and not be harmful or unfair.

Fundamentally there is a contest in Heaven, between a God (or Godess) that says we are stupid to want, for in our wanting we are careless, and a God (or Godess) that says we are stupid not to want, for life is Desire, and we should get what we want while we live.

The Demons have convinced me that the Law is Do What Thou Wilt. They have also convinced me that beings abide by other Laws, and enforce them. Everywhere you look, a Law to break, and be punished. They have left me powerless and I cry "But there is no Law!" only, is there? For whatever reason they take action against me. Was I such a criminal? No. What did I do? Something... who knows? I have my ideas, and I have my doubts. I do not know, and so I must sit.

Life in action, the fire of fire- is Duty, Desire, Fear, and Love. These are the things we react to. There is no Chaos, only action and consequence that is known or not, everything has a cause. Good is that which aids and Evil that which opposes, and there is Good that leads to Evil and Evil that leads to Good. Everything is True, and power gets what it wants. All of this relies on your moral goal, and one must ask what their greater Good is.

Everything starts with matter that is ignited with fire. The fire yearns for the matter to consume, and in consuming, illuminates and animates and warms. The fire of Desire causes us to reach out and learn and discover, and the full body of discovery is Love. Love teaches us Duty, and Law, and through these things we discover fear, and fear teaches us obedience or defiance. In obedience we discover prudence and in defiance we discover hate.

It is our ignorance of Duty and Desire that cause our disputes. It is the amount of Duty we are meant to carry out that causes our resentments. It is our inability to acquire what we Desire that causes them as well. When we our Desire is opposed we get angered. When we fail our Duty we anger.
