Voluntary society
A voluntary society is one in which the right to choose is intact in every individual within the social structure of a family. All government is by consent. There are rules of cause and effect written in Nature itself which may be recognized as Natural Law.
Such societies must reward virtue and discourage vices that would weaken individuals, breakdown the family unit, from which society is born, and thereby degenerate society as a whole and the bands that make it strong and viable against the forces of nature or of tyrants.
Any system, culture, custom, or practice which may restrict, relieve, reduces the responsibility of the individual will degenerate the life and viability of the spirit of liberty living in that individual and eventually even their perception of truth.
While a voluntary society is concerned with protection of the rights, health, and prosperity of all, they must also be aware of the need of morals, education{the accumulation of knowledge and skill), and the promotion of the general character of their fellow neighbor, both near and far. They also know that they must express with some consistency concern for the well being of the poor, foreigner and even their enemy.
It is the means by which they use to attend to these social needs of human responsibilities to their fellow man that will predetermine the out come through cause and effect. What ever actions taken, as a society or nation, is the result first of individual choice of the exercise of charity and sacrifice rather than any form of collective or legal charity.
