To endure life, one must acknowledge their existence by journeying through life with purpose. Everyone has significance and meaning in their life and everyone shall have the freedom to pursue their passion and to have purpose. By nature we are all bound to only ourselves and no other can take ownership of another. It is by nature that we exist and the duty of self-preservation is the first law of nature. 

Joseph Williams

Just and true liberty, equal and impartial liberty, in matters spiritual and temporal, is a thing that all men are clearly entitled to by the eternal and immutable laws of God and nature, as well as by the law of nations and all well–grounded municipal laws, which must have their foundation in the former... The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.

Samuel Adams

 

Happiness is the point where center all those duties which individuals and nations owe to themselves; and this is the great end of the law of nature. The desire of happiness is the powerful spring that puts man in motion: felicity is the end they all have in view, and it ought to be the grand object of the public will. ...To succeed in this, it is necessary to instruct the people to seek felicity where it is to be found; that is, in their own perfection ... .

Emmerich de Vattel
