Basic Self Evident Truths.


In the interest of having a sane society and saving money and time I write these with the goal that from this writing we need not study any of these truths again but can keep them in mind as self evident. Our government, Universities and Nonprofits can save Millions of dollars, now that these basic truths have been stated. We can hold our communities, governments and corporations accountable and we can put the money we are spending trying to prove these truths to better uses; like planting trees and feeding people. If I missed some please feel free to add them!
I hold these Basic Truths to be Self Evident.
  • All things that are alive will die. Birth, life and death are part of a cycle. This also includes most other entities such as groups, countries, corporations and civilizations. We live and we die.
  • Once created, life forms and other entities, generally want to keep growing until they die.
  • We are dependent on the earth, sun, water and soil. Without these we would not be here.
  • We are dependent on the other life forms of this planet, trees, insects, microorganisms etc. Without these we would not be here.
  • We, humans are animals and mammals. All mammals, besides modern westernized humans, breast feed their babies and most all sleep with their babies.
  • Humans evolved eating whole foods; Nuts, fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains. Whole foods are best for our health. No humans or animals evolved with processed food.
  • Humans need love, acceptance, touch and to feel needed.
  • Humans are happier and healthier if they in touch with nature. Humans are happier and healthier if they have sunlight, fresh air and rest.
  • Humans are happier when they are healthier.
  • Humans are social creatures and like to help each other and work for their community.
  • Violence and peacefulness are both part of our nature. Humans and almost all animals are in general peaceful and will not attack other creatures unless they are hunting for food or feel threatened.
  • Anger and fear are a natural part of our emotional life, they help us make changes when our circumstances are not meeting our needs.
  • We need challenges to have a fulfilling life.
  • We cannot remove risk from life.
  • War kills and maims. War damages the souls of those involved and effected.
  • There are lots of religions and all the people practicing them are humans.
  • There are lots of humans and they all look different.
  • There are lots of humans and some are attracted to the same sex.
  • None of our differences make us less human.
  • Humans and animals need access to space, water and resources to live
  • No one wants to not have access to the resources needed to live.
  • No one wants to be a slave.
  • Happy, healthy children want to learn. The goal of childhood is to learn how to be a productive adult.
  • Healthy people want to be seen, listened to and to get and give attention, this includes children.
  • Humans need a spiritual life or connection to nature, art, music and humor to be fully happy.
  • It feels better and is more fun to be happy, safe and well fed.

Here is my prescription for the vast majority of us: You need to be in a relatively safe place outside with others
