Without freedom, how can you pursue your goals? Happiness? Dreams and aspirations? Without freedom, how can you unleash your potential? What about injustice? People demand justice. And it is well that they should. However, justice is best practiced by individuals. When it directs the lifestyles of persons, their attitudes and choices, it contributes to peace and harmony. Justice is defended by law, but it is not confined to matters of law. How about honor? When we honor we respect. We give things, people, positions, government, family, God, friends, associates, and humanity their just due. We honor because we appreciate and are grateful. As people, do we not have duties? Do we not have responsibilities? Can we not contribute to help make a better society? Does not everyone make mistakes? Shall we not forgive? Shall we not be forgiven then? A great teacher has said: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." What about the future? Can we not hope for something better? Can we not dream, plan, execute and hope?
"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."
Winston Churchill
