Our country decided to become independent, knowing that it did not need another to rule over us. We had the self-confidence, courage, and responsibility to take care of ourselves with freedom and a democracy to create and uphold our laws. Elected representatives can amend, change, and add to these laws. As long as citizens are law-abiding, they can think, speak, and live as they see fit.
Individuals can stay completely independent or join groups who encourage members to agree with their way of thinking, adding their own code of behavior. Some groups are religious, some political. As long as these groups uphold the laws of the land, as long as they allow others to have equal rights, they can promote their philosophies.
Family members should encourage their youth to prepare themselves to be independent in thought, word, and deed. Young adults should strive to be financially independent, emotionally strong, and able to think and make their own decisions.
As a country, as individuals, and as family members, we should encourage freedom. Celebrate independence every day of your life.
