Freedom
"You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free."
~Clarence Darrow~
Great societies are founded on the idea that everyone's freedom is important. Not freedom for the wealthy or freedom for the powerful, but freedom for everyone.
We don't always realize how we put our own freedoms at risk when we acquiesce to others losing theirs. "It won't happen to us," we say. "We're not doing anything wrong. We've got nothing to worry about." But history gives us many examples of freedoms lost, bit by bit, because people thought it couldn't happen to them.
I enjoy my freedom and know that it is something I need to protect. I will be as vigilant about protecting the freedoms of others as I am about my own.
My thoughts: Be thankful for your freedom! HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE! :D
