Peace on Earth

• Live and Let Live begins with the end in mind - a high-resolution blueprint for a peaceful, free, and prosperous world, in which love between our fellow humans pervades.
• The law is meant to protect human dignity and your freedom to choose how to live your life, rather than prevent it. The world we envision is one where humanity is free within a container of safety, subject to the law that we must not aggress.
• We discard the bathwater of all the coercive rules that limit humanity while preserving the precious baby, the 3L Philosophy.
• No one wishes to be the victim of violence or any other form of aggression, so we are not imposing our will on any reasonable people to make this the basis of the law. Every human must follow it. No person has the right to aggress against another for any reason. No exceptions.
• Forced peace is an oxymoron. People must be free to live how they choose, free from aggressing, if there is to be peace at the societal level. The 3L Philosophy is built on this understanding that freedom is the prerequisite for peace.
• Although it is essential, freedom alone does not guarantee peace. Peace also requires that we treat each other with respect, as we ourselves would want to be treated; the Golden Rule. 3L members, therefore, voluntarily adopt the Aspirational Values.
• 3L’s contribution is to identify that portion of the Golden Rule that is essential vs that which is aspirational.
  • The essential part, that must be adhered to regardless of circumstance, is that you must not aggress against each other - we call this the Legal Principle.
  • The aspirational part of the Golden Rule, that should be adhered to, is the moral component - being kind, honest, and respectful.
