Among all of our God given rights; the one which stands out most clearly to me is, "The Right to Have Peers and Companions." Most of us would like to believe that we should also have the right to choose between individuals, and exercise discrimination. But the evidence suggests that God does not guaranty such a right to anyone.
Now I am a firm believer in Eternity and the Durability of the Human Spirit; time is the one thing that we all have in unlimited abundance. Over the course of a mortal life-time there seems to be countless opportunity costs in the way we spend our time. If we truly believe that we have a place in forever, can we believe also in lost opportunities? Clearly we have not all enjoyed equal opportunities in life, but in due course of time perhaps we will still benefit from the fulfillment of all opportunities. It seems possible that some people are better loved, but perhaps we all take turns at being most loved. No matter how many, or the quality of our achievements in life, there will always be something left for us to accomplish. It's one thing to set goals for ourselves, and something else to set a schedule for accomplishing those goals. We could survive in greater happiness with fewer deadlines I think. But of course we are greatly inter-dependent, and our mortal survival depends on a great deal of work. Some jobs depend on other jobs being completed first, there's an order of progress. By living and working in the Universe, we create a higher degree of order within the Universe We organize our world in the best way to maximize Human Comfort, although we are most interested in our own comfort. And we have succeeded at improving upon perfection, life is better for people in general today than it was thousands of years in the past. It's amazing how much our world has changed in just the past 300 or so years, and that's not a very long time in the life of our species to date.
