The Universal Declaration of the Individual (with preamble)

Our Expectations Create Our Reality.

I do not expect to be ruled. I do expect to be free.
I do not expect utopia. I expect conflict.
I do not accept violence as effective conflict resolution. I expect the evolution of consciousness to resolve conflict through growth, understanding, and maturity.
I do not expect perfection. I expect empathy, compassion, and love for a hurting world.
As an individual, I will not condone individualism that is blind to the suffering of others. I expect our social species to work together towards shared goals when we can find them and peaceful cooperation and respect when we can not.
I do support or participate in collectivism or any form of suppression of the individual consciousness. I expect the emergent property of collective will to be undistorted as a pure representation of individual voluntary intention.
I do not expect others to think, believe, or act as I do. I expect views in opposition to my own to clash with great emotion and through perseverance with that emotion, obtain deeper understanding of myself and others.
I do not expect a world without aggressors, for I recognize their role in creating evolutionary stable strategies. I do expect personal responsibility, both physically and mentally, to defend against such aggressors and, as far as it concerns me, I will strive to help those who truly cannot help themselves.
I do not think attachment is a requirement for responsibility.
I do think love is the answer to all.

We are all made of the same stuff with the same energy flowing through our mind, body, spirit complex. The separations we create are matters of perception only. We are not a slave to our perceptions, many of which are false, but can transcend them through training, study, will, and practice.

We can live free.
