Freedom: without freedom one cannot make one’s own choices.  Even in the free West most people live imprisoned in their own minds by convention, religion, ignorance and laziness (look at the current Democratic elections!!).  One must dare to think for oneself, be autonomous, listen to others, be brave enough to change one’s mind given better arguments and evidence.  Thinking for yourself is nature’s greatest gift.

Dignity of the individual: respect for others, consideration and tolerance.

Friendship

Love

Creativity:   Doing something, anything, that leaves the world a better place
