Freedom Is Not Free.
… I heard a POW talk about hate one time.
He was referring to his expected hatred of his captors.
People told him that for him to hate his guards would be nothing out of the ordinary.
People reminded him that nobody would blame him for hating.
Then he paused and looked straight ahead.
He said he didn’t hate them,
“Hatred hurts the hater more than the person being hated.”
Hatred siphons our strength and hope and joy. Hatred takes way too much energy. Hatred is a tapeworm that feeds on our insides; the longer we keep hate within us, the more it festers and grows.
Life is too short for hatred.
… Let those of us who can laugh whenever we want,
write whatever we want,
love whoever we want,
and vote for whoever we want,
never forget what an absolute gift freedom is.
Let us never forget all the people who lost their lives for liberty.
Let us never take freedom for granted.
Let us remember that freedom is not free…
