To you i plead.
I wouldn't know much about the 4th of July because when it was made the independence day, i was not in existence to understand exactly what it meant to them. But i will tell you what it means to me. I will quote Mrtin Luther King Jr and say that we are not makers of history. We are made by history. If the 4th of July never happened, who is to say I'd be alive to enjoy this life? Who is to say I'd have been able to make this plead to you my friends?
Martin Luther King Jr also wrote that there comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life's July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. This might have been a motivation to the fighters of the independence of America. Independence is the freedom to live? To be able to conquer mountains, travel to planets, have a dream, make an assumption and as little as make a friend.
Take a step into my shoes, you would like to invade America, would it be fair if i did that to you? The feeling evoked by that thought is what independence would feel like and what it means to me. A free world, to choose to be whomever you want to be, without the push to be something else. I am sure you understand how easy it can get to be lost in a fight that means ultimately nothing to you, just the opportunity to rule over something that you find exciting. Independence is all about love for your country, loyalty and peace. I choose not to be sad and fight about a war that will never end. And it's my hope that you choose that too. Happy 4th of July!
