Declaration of Independence from Listening to People
When, in the course of my crazy life, it becomes necessary for me to make conversation with other humans, and to hold said conversation and also listen, I must give my undivided attention to person(s) I am talking with. There is one certain element I cannot stand however; and that is listening to people. People telling me what to do with my life, where to sleep, where to sit, people telling me they like my shirt, that they think I’m funny, and some that even have the audacity to call me their “friend”. This is something that cannot go on any further.
I hold these truths to be obvious. I do not like people. I do not hide this fact, in my eyes, all humans, spare a very select few, are stupid apes that have mastered the texting art and selfies. I also despise making pointless conversation. I prefer to go straight to the point and get it over with, not make petty conversation. I indeed also enjoy sarcasm, and seeing as very few humans’ posses this apparently rare ability, I do not particularly like making conversation with these people. It gets boring. Very boring. I would write you an essay on how boring it would be, but I would fall asleep on the second sentence. I prefer to jump straight to the point while at the same time trying to entertain myself, as I get bored talking normally. People, however, have taken to the art of telling me what to do, or even talking to me, while at the same time being incredibly boring. It is my duty for my sanity, what’s left of it that is, to stop this.
In a second here I will list reason why I shouldn’t listen to people. Yes, examples will be included. I bet you are criticizing this paper as you read this sentence. Is this forth sentence that interesting? It isn’t, trust me I wrote it. My history of listening to people in the past has actually been detrimental to me. Most people have it the other way around, but I however, am not a

    The United States was not founded upon the principles of the Christian religion. The Declaration of Independence clearly states that the Colonies are separating from British rule because of their unjust and unfair actions towards the Colonies. The Constitution and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom express how religion is free to choose and not enforced in public office. The United States was established because the people wanted to live under better conditions and constitute their own laws.…

    “A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people…” as the Second Continental Congress, so famously declared. The Declaration of Independence was one of the most historically influential documents in the history of the United States of America. Great Britain was the mother of the thirteen colonies, a great colonial power in America. Over the years, the colonists had a growing distrust in Great Britain, which had led to much political conflict. When the colonists were fed up with the Crown’s futile attempts to simmer down the tension, in terms of passing acts and laws that not only served as unfair but tyrannical to the colonists, they had issued the Declaration of Independence,…

    How well is our government upholding the principles of the Declaration of Independence? Our government makes laws that are equal and fair to everyone. We all have basic rights like life, liberty, freedom of religion and right to fair trial. The government so far has been doing a better job. However, now we have a new president and I’m curious on to what he has in mind. Some of the things happening in the United States to people are not equal. I believe our government upholds many principles of the Declaration of Independence.…

    The Declaration of Independence has the greatest influence on how the united states government has developed because it sets a strong foundation that a government can thrive in. It outlined what is most important for our government by setting up basic definitions of equality, rights of individuals and what not to do. These are the three most important ideas: the unalienable rights, list of grievances and equality among citizens. These ideas are so important because they are our references to make a strong and fair government that is self sufficient and can protect the rights of people.…

    "Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth,"-John F. Kennedy. The king of Great Britain was imposing taxes on us without our consent. He cut off all of our trades with the world, and he has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. The question is if gaining our independence is a good idea or not? I believe we should allow him to cut all connections with us because that way we can enforce our own laws and grow as a fair country where everyone votes and are all equal. Gaining our independence will take time which we will make it without Britain.…

    The people of the Colony under the Authority of King George of Great Britain wrote the Declaration of Independence. The people believe they have the right to “abolish” or alter a form of government, when it becomes corrupt or denies its people of their “unalienable rights”. Under the control of King George the people of the colonies believed they were treated unfairly. “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations.” In the Declaration many of the primary complaints among the colony were of Government. The King of Great Britain refused to give the colony rights or power to their own self-governing systems of the land such as passing laws. One of many that are similar is “He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.” Complaints like these do not surprise me because the country of Great Britain just like any country in control of a colony wants to maintain their authority and power over their people. As the colony grew stronger in complaints and demanded for more rights the King did not grant them their wishes because Great Britain wanted absolute power.…
