Summary

If we were each alone and isolated, every one of us would languish, wither, and perish. Only by human cooperation can we all together build an interactive economy in which we each can thrive. Here are the only two ways to organize human cooperation: One, build a dictatorial tyranny in which you promise the peasants security and equality but never actually deliver. Keep them constantly divided into fighting factions and provide them with drugs and limitless cheap and mindless entertainment. This helps transform them into fools, and fools buy their empty promises. The second way is build and maintain a democratic government of and by the people, with power only with the permission of the people. Promise them nothing but protection for their property, their bodies & their lives from both foreign foes and internal bandits and predators. Guarantee freedom. Get out of their way and let each citizen achieve whatever he or she can. In that world, each of us can find the meaning in our work, build every aspect of our lives, and find immortality in our families. So, be a happy warrior and never a tennis ball floating down the gutter of life. That only brings the tyrants. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:05.1	Never change.
0:06.1	This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin on demand.
0:09.3	On the Blaze Radio Network.
0:11.4	Greetings to you, oh happy warrior.

0:26.7	Why do I think of you as happy?
0:29.1	Well, because to be happy is a decision you have made, and it is one of your most powerful weapons against the grim, dull, stolid, gloomy,
0:43.2	and hopeless worldview of a socialist-inclined culture trying to bend you and break you in order
0:53.1	to make a view yet another victim in need of their
0:58.7	selfish brand of secular salvation. Being happy is our way to make each day a joy as we float lightly over all the turbulence and stay ready for the battle.
1:17.4	Why are we warriors? Well, because the soul of a warrior is the soul of a limitless being touched by the finger of God,
1:31.3	unwilling to waste his or her life,
1:39.9	trudging through the trenches of an empty animalistic existence, satisfying appetites in consuming mindless entertainment, in exchange for us staying docile and accepting of all mediocrity.
1:50.3	Nothing at all till the dreary end. No, for me and I think for you, it's the fight.
1:59.5	With a smile on our lips and a bounce to our step.
2:05.4	And that is true for you and me.
2:08.2	Happy warriors, all of us.
2:11.1	You heroic men taking care of business every day and doing what your head tells you to do,
2:16.4	when your head tells you it must be done.
2:19.7	You strong guys who ignore your heart's desire to indulge to the body's seductive whisper.
