Most of you will read this with the thought that it probably pertained to something vain, like clothes, cars or some new electronic trend.
What I think is truly beautiful is America.
Where else on this planet can you find the freedom to do EVERYTHING you do in your everyday life but here! There are women in this world who aren't allowed to go to school! There are men who will be killed over their religious beliefs!!
I really want this to reach the younger Yahoo users simply because the incredible future America offers will benefit you the most.
Take pride in this land; make it a part of your soul. Treat her like you'd treat that friend whose boyfriend cheated or the one who loves that girl so much he just had to tell you. America is and always has been an ideal. Think about that. Look it up if you're not sure what it means. She gives you freedom to live the way you choose. She gives you the opportunity to be whatever you choose when school ends and the real life begins, work!! She protects you every night as you lie sleeping soundly and free of worry. (Mom & Dad on the other hand toss & turn all night worrying about you and where you're going).
So trust her.
Protect her at any cost. Even one's life is the cost sometimes. Iraq for instance.
But it has to be done so we can preserve this great land, this amazing ideal.
Trust her.
Respect America. Treat her like you would your own mother. Don’t embarrass her. Vote, when you qualify. Choose wisely. Allow yourself to make your own choices, after all you're allowed to in America. Don't be swayed by everything you see on TV or hear on the news. Be centered enough to be in touch.
Respect her.
As for the rest of us who aren't lucky enough to be the younger generation anymore, instill it into the soul of your children, your loved ones or the person you struck up a conversation with on the subway or bus this morning. Not only will YOU feel better, but the seed you plant will continue this great land to grow and prosper, continue to aid the world and continue to be the best of the best.
There are others out there who envy us. They don't particularly like us. But your involvement in this great land will eventually wipe away the hate that exists and help to create a world that will some day reap the same rewards that America has given you. Shouldn't everyone be so lucky?
We're not here for very long, but where we are on this planet, thank god, is "America".
