Secret Sermon 00002: The Seven Noble Natural Rights
adapted from the teachings contained in the Holy book, ‘Zenarchy’ written by St. Kerry W. Thornley; a major saint of The Church of Discord. Hail Thornley! All hail Eris!
There are at least seven natural rights, or the Tao of human activity in society possesses seven attributes, or people are like machines only in the respect that they don’t work good if you neglect their maintenance requirements.
What are the maintenance requirements of the human being? Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and food, clothing, shelter and medical care.
Keeping us confused and divided against one another about these rights, the multinational power elites of globalised CONsumer capitalism teach us that only life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are rights. In contrast Socialist and Communist states teach that only food, clothing, shelter and medical care are rights.
We are further encouraged to argue about whether rights must be earned or whether it is the duty of the government to guarantee them. Everyone necessarily struggles for their rights, and no government can ever guarantee anything except death and taxes.
All that bickering begs the relevant question: What can we do in voluntary cooperation to see that our natural rights, our intimate functional needs, are respected? Without that much, human beings are incapable of behaving as constructively rational and loving members of any population.
