Lesson for the day.
From an historic analysis democracies or republics last between 200-300 years, following a pattern:
1. Bondage (slavery)
2. Spiritual Faith
3. Courage
4. Liberty
5. Abundance
6. Selfishness & Complacency
7. Apathy then return to
8. Dependence (slavery)
Along that scale, I would postulate that America is somewhere in the selfishness and complacency or possibly at the apathy stage.
When I say:
Local Action = A National Impact, as resolute as I stand firm in believing in this concept, I also want every legal American citizen to understand we each have a duty and responsibility to serve. Voting is a visible example of serving. There are many other examples (running for office, getting involved in local politics, etc).
We don’t have to accept complacency or apathy, we should accept liberty and courage. But these two latter words require each of us to make a decision.
Yes, courage is contagious, but you must first make a decision to be courageous, especially in the relentless times where race baiting, name calling and other forms of character assassination occurs.
Stand strong.
Time to stand up, step up and speak up.
