A Stance on Freedom

If America was to decide tomorrow that kings should reign and dictators should rule, we would object. If America was to decide tomorrow that people should be silent and freedom should be obsolete, we would oppose. If America was to say ‘line up your children so we can shoot them, the population is growing too large’, we would rebel.

But if America only ruled a little badly, we would sit. If America only got a little more stupid, we would sit. If America was to say ‘stop having children; it is bad for the economy; feel free to kill your child as long as it is not yet born’, we would sit.

We would sit until the little changes in rules became big changes, and the slight stupidities became major idiocies.  We would sit until our economy wore down, and our taxes overcame the income of the people. We would sit until our youth grew corrupt, until the citizens became destitute, until the constitution became obsolete.

We would sit because the changes would not be enough to make us move. After all, what is one more injustice? What is one more dollar of taxes? What is one more person without virtue?

For, the world does not work in major leaps. A country does not wake up one day and decide that it will shatter into a million pieces, crushing the hopes of all the citizens. People do not suddenly go from being free to being imprisoned.

Sitting is all it takes for a country to fall. For our country to fall.  Sitting is the easiest way for diminish, slowly and without acknowledgement.

And so, we have few choices. We will sit until there is nothing left to sit on, or we will stand.

And if we stand, it will take effort. If we stand, it will cause challenges. If we stand, it will be difficult.

If we stand, we must work.

But if we stand, we  conquer.
