About Amelia

I guess I wanted to say that I am “still” trying to figure a lot of things out, but when it comes down to it, that is what we do for our entire lives because our wants and needs cannot ever be completely satisfied and that is gorgeous and propelling, not the dismal prospect that many apply to it.

The only thing that I am absolutely sure of is that each of us has to figure things out by our own will and in our own way, and that barriers put in front of us through coercion and force is a negation of not only the life process as such, but certainly of human nature. The best way I have heard it put is quantum chaos explains the individual and orderly Newtonian physics is the societal corollary and the result.

I feel as though I am one of the most blessed people in the world, and have so many people that love and care about me and are willing to help me, and I will never be able to express my gratitude fully. My family is unbelievable and I cannot imagine being luckier, and I will only be deserving of it if I lead a fulfilling, happy, and ideally, a little bit influential, life.

Tentative plans to accomplish such goals: continue writing fiction and non-fiction: http://www.reasonforliberty.com/author/amelia , and hone my skills, (and in my dreams becoming a significant lady contributor to the Austrian school of thought AND action) become a publisher one day after getting a four year and attending Emerson publishing certification. Have a small farm, continue my education either formally or informally throughout my life, and maybe the whole family thing if I am ever confident in my ability to balance it. [Plans subject to change as person progresses.]

“The problems we experience at the hands of the institutions to which we subject ourselves do not derive from the malevolence or ambitions of power of those purporting to be “authorities” over us. Rather, they are the consequences of our acknowledging them to have such authority! Most of our problems originate within our own minds, and we are generally too frightened of the specters we might discover therein to want to search out the root cause of our difficulties…The institutional order – particularly the state – requires us to live externalized lives, in which our attentions are drawn to the pursuit of values beyond ourselves: wealth, fame, status, power, or the approval of others. To be an externally-directed person is to give up on one’s sense of being; to admit to the unworthiness of one’s very soul; to seek meaning in others rather than oneself. Ultimately, it is to embrace the mass-mindedness that inheres in every collectivist system. The contest between collectivism and individualism has always been, at its core, a struggle for the human soul.”
