If we can’t be happy until the world gets fixed, it’s going to be a long, long wait. Fortunately, I don’t think that is the case.

My goal as the Freedom Preacher is to help us rebuild the habit of getting along with each other.

The Freedom Preacher wants you to be happier!

“But then psychiatry went to bed with Big Pharma and its Big Money. Their partnership has helped bury the commonsense reality that an extremely coercive society creates enormous fear and resentment, which results in miserable marriages, unhappy families and severe emotional and behavioral problems.”
— Bruce Levine

We made it clear, from the beginning, that we required the same kind of fair play in return. Without an effective “or else,” this is the kind of thing that can be easily ignored.

And it turns out that the ability to connect with others, even briefly, is an important ingredient in learning to get along with others more consistently.

It might also be helpful to talk about what “getting along” does not mean. It does not mean simply shutting up about things you don’t like but don’t want to discuss or start an argument over.

Like it or not, we need each other. Maybe we can learn to like it!
