Values for Contemplation (superceded)

• We are all equally worthy of love from one another; no one has any less or more right to be who they are.
• Happiness comes most strongly from making others happy; making others happy is most effectively done through kindness and compassion; bestowing kindness and compassion upon others shows them how to achieve happiness for themselves.
• We all live in and experience the same universe; we have different ways of describing the universe that works for each of us. The only objections I have to others' ways of describing it are those descriptions that condone or sanction devaluing, dehumanizing, hating or harming others.
