"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I couldn't agree more.
But I fail to see where "pursuit of Happiness" has become the responsibility of the government. Or where people see "Liberty" as the governments to control rather than support. Or where "Life" is for the government to provide for rather than protect.
Take care of yourself and stop relying on our government. A lot of crap is getting expensive and things are getting scary, so instead of looking to the feds and saying "How are you going to make me happy and solve my problems" look in the mirror and ask that same question.
Scan back over control and honesty. You can only control what you can control and the only way to know what that is, you have to be honest with yourself. Fear will remain, but at least you can try to be proactive for yourself rather than reactive to our government.
Take some friggin' responsibility for yourself. There's help, but help should be a crutch for you to get back on your feet, not another leg that you depend on each day. You want help?? Then help yourself. You are the only one who knows what you need. Get outside help when necessary, but don't depend on it.
People need to stop thinking they are owed something just because they were born. Stephen Crane's poem explains that rather well:
"A man said to the universe:'Sir I exist!''However,' replied the universe,'The fact has not created in meA sense of obligation."
Keep in mind, I am not telling people not worry. In fact, I am stating quite the opposite. Go do something to take care of yourself. If you need help, there are those who are willing. If you can be the one to help others, do so. Don't be a victim. Be an American.
Thank God for our government and God Bless America. Now get off your ass and do something.
I'm Shawn Finer and I approve this message.
