HomeNews and politicsDoes freedom embarrass you?

Friends around the world, all Americans are not “cut of the same cloth”. Many of us are “scatter-lings”. But of different origin, some of us, too. Many of us are appalled by the willingness of many to sell out their own freedom for fame, short gains, and wealth. Or, by the actions of some to do ANYTHING to get it for themselves.

Some of us are loud, others quiet. Some of us are offensive, others polite. Some of us are ungrateful, others are pious.

Freedom embarrasses some people. Freedom has NEVER embarrassed me. Freedom comes with a price, and is preserved at a price. The price has been paid. We don’t want to give up our freedom.

The moment that you become embarrassed by your freedom… is the very moment that you no longer deserve it nor its responsibility. Someone who does not deserve yours, will come and try to steal it from you. So, what is my advice for you? Safeguard it. Do not hand over your freedom as if your life were cheap.

Your mama may have raised you well, not to lift your fist. But, someone cannot steal your freedom from you without risking their own mortality. Somewhere along the road, they will pay for their wrongdoing.

Your job, is to appreciate your freedom. To live freely. To show gratitude by example for all those who were willing to, and who did sacrifice their life for virtues. Even if you are a coward, give thanks to those who died for your freedom. Freedom is worth more than all the worlds’ riches.
