The 4th is upon us

Ahhh ...Independence. Freedom... Choice... Thats what this country is all about. Thats what it was built on. I hate people telling me what to do. Guess thats why I am where I am right now. Practically boss of my own company. New Home Owner. Single and Loving it. haha. No one tells me what to do.
...a man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes.
- Thomas Henry Huxley
"Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility." -Sigmund Freud
"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." -Benjamin Franklin
Ain't it the truth. Its scary being able to do as I like. The choices are endless, and Im responsible for all the consequences. A true sign of a "grown-up" is someone who can handle consequences. I see too many people who cant. But lets look on the bright side.
"The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage." -Thucydides
"The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission." -John Fitzgerald Kennedy
So lets remember on this Independence Day exactly what we are proclaiming from the beginning. That we will not allow tyranny to keep from us that which we hold dear. That no man on any throne can take away the God-given rights we have secured to be our treasure.
I hope everyone who reads this takes time to think about why they are free and what a gift it is. And as Patrick henry would say, "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
Thank you.
