Today's Tids Issue 3.902
For the People:
July
Fourth is the people’s holiday. I don’t just mean family
and friends gathering together. First at parades and readings of the Declaration
of Independence; later laughing and enjoying the company of good people in back
yards or at public parks for hot dogs, hamburgers, and yes, grilled vegetables.
That is good, real good, but the people’s day is so much deeper. I mean this is
the day the soldiers celebrate the brave everyday Americans who rose up to the behemoth
of the world to overthrow tyranny, to create a country that had yet to exist in
the history of civilizations. The people couldn’t take it anymore, and they
became the warriors against injustices. They created freedoms like never before
seen. Freedoms that came with responsibilities to contribute to one another’s wellbeing.
And somehow the spirit in the hearts of people overcame the might of large and practiced
armies. We know that what was born lives today, as does the most cherished freedom
of being able to continue to decry injustices. I pray that the new divide which
appears further apart than ever will begin to listen again. Freedom of speech
also means listening to and understanding others. This is a country of unity,
that has survived small internal battles over 241 years. Is this new divide one
that would demolish the visions of so many brave people so long ago. I think
the hearts of the people of the USA are far bigger than the demons so loudly propagated
by a few. The will of the American people will always find the light.
