Happiness: A Personal Declaration
Happy 250th anniversary, United States of America!
In 1776, the Declaration of Independence announced, “…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Our video, Happiness: A Personal Declaration, examines the Founding Fathers’ use of the word “men.” I feel these heroes did the best they could, given the conditions of the day. Human beliefs and behaviors have considerably matured in the past 250 years. May we now agree that everyone has the right to self-determination and the pursuit of happiness?
As we celebrate our big 250, let’s commit to ensuring unalienable rights for all.
“The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.” —Thomas Jefferson
