LONG LIVE THE TAX AUTHORITIES.
Over the years, I have become increasingly straightforward. Despite my physical ailments, I always try to keep my back straight. But not only that, in my thinking I also increasingly draw a line when it comes to a number of values. Based on this entirely reasonable straightforwardness, I divide the world along that dividing line into two camps: the good and the bad. And because the world as we know it exists by the grace of man, the distinction is made between those who are on the good side of the line and those who prefer to be on the bad side of the line. Those who feel good about this. To think that existence can be compared to a tightrope act in which you can juggle the truth to suit yourself goes directly against the certainty of ethics. The necessity of laws.
Now that it is clear where I stand with my head held high, I can also say that in principle the same law should apply to everyone. Not the distribution of the costs, but according to the letter of the law. Besides the fact that it is important to distinguish laws in order to arrive at a correct definition of everything—a definition of life itself and everything that it is and is not. Not an easy task because it seems that life moves on a gray playing field in time for the blind. Fortunately, however, linearity only assigns a derived value to this. Depending on your basic attitude, which determines the value judgment.
Reduced to its doctrinal essence, it boils down to the famous key question: to be or not to be? Is it there or is it not there?* The next question often leads to a heated debate about the correct order: am I there or am I not there?* Do I or do I not?* To conclude with the logical question in all actions or inactions : is it good (right) or is it wrong?* The straightforwardness in which the answer of the good lies with the other. Or, you have to take self-interest as the principle around which everything revolves.*
A law that all within a sovereign state must abide by. For example, when it comes to paying taxes. I see paying taxes as a fee for being Dutch. A very reasonable user fee for public space and public facilities. But also for the freedom offered, which is frequently forgotten. A sign of gratitude for the first 23 articles of the Dutch constitution that radiate the goodwill of the state.
And based on the fundamental idea that freedom as private space ends where it claims too much space for itself. It is therefore up to everyone to pay taxes. Or to be found guilty of breaking the law. Being as straightforward as I am, I believe that this is a crime against the state, the public interest, and contrary to the humanity of the other person, because you are placing an extra burden on him or her. What about the statement: we can’t make it more fun, but it does give an extra dimension of freedom.

Evolution revolves around the sexual act that requires two genders. Except for the law of asexual reproduction, also known as cloning. But believe me, it really won’t be a braver, newer world if I walk around in a billion of them. There simply won’t be enough room for you.
*There is sometimes a difference based on a confusion of language between justice and law. Justice is a judgment that directly relates to people or live. Law is an instrument for administration
