Righteousness

Dying? No, I'm not afraid of dying. I know that the intent of living is to create, expand, and thrive. That is the purposes we have given ourselves, that we have defined. That is the drive we have been instilled with since long ago. We are ordered to function within a certain capacity, achieve specific goals, and then regurgitate the message to the next generation. As a result, we achieve righteousness. The fear of dying is therefore not the end of life, but the failures of living. The 'fear' is to have lived below our capabilities; capabilities according to doctrine. The result is a necessity to establish an extension of life so one may truly live, truly be happy.

Righteousness is an application passed down through generations as a goal to achieve, follow and be restricted by. It is not a measure of holiness, it is a control unit as well as a compensation of incomplete work: mortality. And through this filter only some will live to the fullest extent - the fullest potential of all capable expression and experience. Those that remove themselves from righteousness have removed themselves from doctrine - from moral regret. This is where righteousness cannot exist - as only comprehension and acceptance reside here. The fear of dying now becomes the restrictions upon instinct and the inability to experience life. The result is a desire to learn, to create, to live. The fear then no longer applies as the role of 'create, expand, and thrive' has been realized within a lifetime.

With this said, our capabilities are continuously regulated: by history, by religion, even by your own parents. How else would doctrine resonate? How else would our children carry our selfishly imposed legacy to ensure history remembers our actions? Remove the regulations, remove the history, remove the blind traditions - and we experience life within human instinct, creativity and expression - not as slaves to doctrine.

But how? How can one achieve this ideal while still regulated to communicate with the embedded teachings of canon law from centuries ago?

And what of our history then? What is the purpose of advancing our knowledge if it is not taught as doctrine? We must change the course of education - but that is a later discussion.
