Today is a day of Independence and celebration. It’s a time to remember that once we had to fight for what we have today. We weren’t always as fortunate as we currently find ourselves. Hopefully it’s a time to remember to continue fighting for what we have (or in some cases, should have).
Americans are an interesting people. Freedom gives us all the rights to voice our opinions and often that makes our disagreements very public and loud. But whenever push comes to shove we’re back in it together. There has always been conflict and there will always be conflict but our model gives us the flexibility and environment to evolve. Freedom is the medicine which brings it all together.
Anything that goes against our freedom is something that should be put down. Anyone that wants to take our freedoms should be stood up to. Fight for the minority and those that are down. We should always be seeking to improve. (Almost) none of us are natives – this is the home our families chose in order to strive for a better life. If we aren’t similarly striving for a better life ourselves then we’re failing the memories we should be living up to. If we are letting the system fit us into a mold we are selling ourselves short.
It’s not about today. While one day can change the world, it doesn’t happen often. Go for the small and steady changes and we can keep this place going the right ways.
