What is the Live and Let Live Movement?
Live and Let Live (3L) is about treating others excellently as the portal to peace on Earth. At minimum, that means ensuring that all human interactions are voluntary. We then use that freedom wisely.
Belonging to the 3L community is for those who share a preference for peace and want to uplift all that do. Peace on Earth will not be achieved until enough of us coalesce around a movement to get us there. We uplift each other as we go.
The 3L Philosophy is a practical blueprint for resolving all disputes in the world in a fair and just way.
Live and Let Live is a movement for everyone. It unites people of each nation, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, culture, and religious inclination oriented toward peace. Peace requires both the absence of aggression and the presence of voluntary kindness.
Live and Let Live aim to inspire the reasonable people of the world to understand and adopt the 3L Philosophy. When that occurs, the unreasonable people of the world will no longer be permitted to wrongfully and forcefully impose their will on others through the mechanisms of the law. At that time, and for the first time, we will give peace a real chance.
- The Movement is comprised of people who recognize that freedom is a prerequisite for peace. We cannot have a peaceful society if we are aggressing against each other.
- In addition to freedom, we recognise that treating each other well is also needed for peaceful coexistence, but that this cannot be mandated without violating the Legal Principle.
What is the mission of 3L?
- The movement is spearheaded by a 501(c)(3) public charity, ‘The Live and Let Live Community’, registered in the United States. The charity pursues its mission under an ‘ABC’ strategy of Awareness, Belonging, and Change — see What does 3L do? for details.
- The Live and Let Live Council and Aspirational Values are robust and communicated correctly. The Council is also responsible for 3L’s Ambassador Program.
What is the vision of 3L?
Live and Let Live is a movement, an unending flow, towards peace, freedom, and prosperity. It’s a path to peace intended for all people, covering all human interactions. The movement is not a static institution, but a practical peace philosophy.
Though global peace is the direction, it’s not a destination we expect to reach soon. Also, it is unavoidable that a perfect system cannot be achieved. The Legal Principle and its application have been designed to achieve a reasonable construction of a rule that is sensible and fair for all, rather than a single correct interpretation of the rule. Our motto is:
‘Aim high, fall short, do well’.
What makes 3L unique?
- Who you are, your conscious ability and will, are the only things you can know. Why this relationship is sacred, the only ultimate right worthy of defending, is not something we preach with words, but practice with our lives. That’s what joining the Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement is for. Joining the movement adds your name to the critical mass of people required to upgrade the world to a new paradigm.
