Introduction to the last philosophy.

The goal of every human being is happiness. If you live your life in a state of fear you cannot be happy. Why are you afraid? Your logical mind lets you know clearly that you cannot pursue happiness if you are not alive. You require a base level of security to be alive. You need food, water, shelter, clothing and your health. You have these things today but you worry that tomorrow they will be gone. People all over the world begin to look to a government to at least provide that base level of security. The initial rationalization is if you had that security you would be free to pursue and hopefully attain a state of happiness. But a contradiction arises within you. If someone else is providing that security it is an irrational security, and thus no security at all. If your security is not derived by you, it can be withdrawn.

The foundation of happiness is rational security. To attain rational security you must work for it by your own volition and towards your own self interests. In the last philosophy I will show you logically that the very pursuit of the rational security will not only create a solid foundation for building happiness, but done in the right way, the path itself is a happy one. The work itself towards the goal is reward and brings about a state of happiness. I will also show you that the philosophy is not in contradiction to the goals of the altruistic or religious who insist that you must sacrifice your own good life, for the benefit of others. The pursuit of your own rational security, and your own happiness will do much more to benefit mankind than a blind sacrifice.

To develop and prove this philosophy requires us to expose several aspects of life that you must think about in a new way. We must also discard some of the old notions and philosophies. We discard these not as a slap to their creators, or because they are not valid. We discard them because they are not absolute necessities of our lives and our pursuit of happiness. They are introspections that can be pondered upon at a later date. There are discoveries both scientific and otherwise that do not affect positively your happiness and thus should be pursued as hobbies or entertainment as opposed to philosophical necessities.

Descartes proved his existence by saying, “I think therefore I am.” This is considered by many intellectuals and modern philosophers to be one of the great statements of philosophy ever made. It is not. You exist because you exist. There are biological reasons for your existence, and I believe there was a reason God created you. Accepting both of these statements is the first order of business. Look at the hands holding this book, agree that they belong to you, and get busy living, because you do exist.
Reflecting on why you exist can bring meaning to your life. Reflecting on whether or not you exist is a waste of time. Within the entire body of philosophy you will find that there are only two questions that lead to ultimate truth. Why and how do I live?
