Moral Obligations
Clarifying what our moral obligations are and how to accomplish them can sometimes be daunting. We are inundated with conflicting definitions of what is bad and what is good. In general, people are religious, at least moral. We want to be good. Our hearts are generous. We want to help the poor and those without opportunity, but how we help matters. We are endowed with unalienable rights-- life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those are very individual rights. They give us opportunity to act for ourselves as long as we don't infringe on another's unalienable rights. We cannot wrong one person to right someone else. We cannot force a good deed. In fact, I would argue that force not only infringes on the unalienable right of liberty but also upon the pursuit of happiness for both those who are forced to give and those who are forced to receive. My experience is that both good will and self sufficiency bring great happiness. I believe that the more free agency we have, the more good deeds, satisfaction and happiness come to fruition. We must not be deceived in what some try to convince us is good. The end does not justify the means. In fact, the means determines results in many ways. When free agency is taken away and replaced with force, the fibers of morality disintegrate. The good in mankind is stifled, and who is left to govern it? Consider this video:

Take note of a lady in this video who compares her health care to her dog's. Guess which one has the better health care:
