The Pursuit of Happiness: A renewed vow to maximize human flourishing in Alaska!

As we enter the new year, it’s important to reflect on what true happiness means in a world that often seems at odds with human flourishing. The United States Declaration of Independence reminds us that happiness is a fundamental right that we are all entitled to pursue. But what does this pursuit actually entail?

The pursuit of happiness goes beyond fleeting moments of pleasure or impulsive desires. It is a state of being that is rooted in the natural moral laws that govern the universe. Our Founding Fathers understood this when they enshrined the right to pursue happiness in our nation’s founding document. They recognized that governments can either uphold or violate this right, but they cannot take it away because it is inherent to our existence.

While the pursuit of happiness includes the pursuit of material goods and general well-being, it is also deeply connected to our moral and religious beliefs. It is not a shallow pursuit disconnected from God and the natural moral law. Instead, it is our duty to seek and promote a happiness that aligns with our Creator’s intentions for human life.

In this new year, let us remember that true happiness is more than just a fleeting feeling. It is a pursuit that requires us to live in accordance with the moral principles that guide our lives. As we strive for happiness, let us also remember the importance of upholding our rights and freedoms, for it is through these that we can truly pursue a fulfilling and meaningful life.
