"Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight--how to get from shore to food and back again. For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. More than anything else, Jonathan Livingston Seagull loved to fly."

--Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, cited in A Unified Theory of Happiness by Andrea F. Polard.

Too many people focus on eating rather than on the important work of life that allows one to eat, or the vital freedoms that allow us to do the work of life.

In free societies, a lot of people focus on freedom.

Only freedom allows us all to fly.
