ON LEGALITY: TRUE CHANGE STARTS WITH THE LAW

Let’s remember that real, lasting change cannot be built on lawlessness.

LET’S CHOOSE PEACE AND RESPONSIBILITY

In these challenging days, it is vital that we remember our shared duty to maintain order and dignity in our communities.

True progress is built on common sense and respect, not on chaos.
Guided by the principles of The Way to Happiness: A Common Sense Guide to Better Living, written by L. Ron Hubbard, we encourage everyone to keep the following in mind:

• Don’t Do Anything Illegal:

“Almost any worthwhile thing one is trying to accomplish often can be done in perfectly legal ways.

“The ‘illegal’ route is a dangerous and time-wasting shortcut. Imagined ‘advantages’ in committing illegal acts usually turn out not to be worth it.”

• Set a Good Example:

“There are many people one influences. The influence can be good or it can be bad.

“If one conducts his life to keep these recommendations, one is setting a good example.

“Others around one cannot help but be influenced by this, no matter what they say.

“Anyone trying to discourage you is trying to do so because they factually mean you harm or are seeking to serve their own ends. Down deep, they will respect you.

“Your own survival chances will be bettered in the long run since others, influenced, will become less of a threat. There are other benefits.

“Don’t discount the effect you can achieve on others simply by mentioning these things and setting a good example in your own right.”

• Try to Treat Others as You Would Want Them to Treat You:

“If one were to think over how he or she would like to be treated by others, one would evolve the human virtues. Just figure out how you would want people to treat you.

“You would possibly, first of all, want to be treated justly: you wouldn’t want people lying about you or falsely or harshly condemning you. Right?

“You would probably want your friends and companions to be loyal: you would not want them to betray you.

“You could want to be treated with good sportsmanship, not hoodwinked nor tricked.

“You would want people to be fair in their dealings with you. You would want them to be honest with you and not cheat you. Correct?”

Let us work together to bring peace.

Let us lead by example and prove that we can address national challenges with integrity.
