I believe that equal human rights may create the highest level of life enjoyment. This is hard to prove because equal human rights have never existed. Humankind has always suffered under the lack of equal human rights and will continue to suffer until we adopt them.
Today power over people brings enjoyment, so people invest a great effort to achieve it. But possessing power over people is an alienated need from human nature so that it can hardly bring satisfaction which means people who seek such power are usually not satisfied. Besides, when a stronger person appears which is inevitable, it hurts people who have power over others a lot. Fame brings great alienated enjoyment as well, so people try hard to become famous. When fame inevitably starts fading away, it leaves people in misery. People assign much more values to power and fame than they deserve. The enjoyment coming from the illusions of power and fame is not worth the effort.
Fear of losing power or fame in society and the pain coming from it may be extensive and last long. Our nature may find the escape from it in a perversion of feelings and senses through sadomasochism. The pain brings enjoyment and temporary satisfaction, but it is not a healthy solution neither can it last. Sometimes the escape from inconvenient tension and enjoyment may be found in opiates such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and others. It helps just as long as the opiates have their effects, but it could also kill. The result of searching for enjoyment in power over people or fame cannot reach a good result.
In order to reach a good life, we need to recognize our objective needs. Successful learning through life should bring the illumination which tells people that all objective values lay within them. Objective values eliminate alienation which let people reach a good life. Such people live the best life possible. But people who do not reach the illumination still damage themselves and society. These people prevent the improvement of society.
I have invented an escape from all social problems through the implementation of equal human rights. When people accept equal human rights, it will teach them to abandon the illusion of power and fame and to accept the natural way of living. Then they will find objective values. Equal human rights will build freedom, peace, joy, love, wisdom, and a good-quality life to everyone unconditionally.
Equal human rights will bring the best life enjoyment possible. Equal human rights will build a bright future of humankind.
