When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused. -Rainer Maria Rilke

With Liberty and Justice for All
All things have to change. And though we don't always like it...we have to accept it. You know people always say you don't value somethings until its gone. We don't. We don't truly value something until we have lost it. Freedom for example, we take our freedom for granted. We say we have rights. Well the only reason we have those rights and privileges are because our ancestors fought for them. They understood that life was the priority and that it should be free to live as one chooses. (With proper rules I know). But still, do you ever really think about what the Constitution or the Bill of Rights actually says and means? I have, but then again I took a law class, but it made me realized how fortunate I am today because of the sacrifices of those before me. Even our pledge of allegiance is a symbol of how freedom and our alliance to our country and what it stands for. How many people really think about the thing they are pledging their allegiance to? Its not a flag you are pledging to, but what that flag stands for and means for everyone. How many people realize what they are actually saying? Seriously, who knows what indivisible means without looking it up? indivisible: undivided, as one, a whole. We are a nation of many, who stand as one, in conviction to seeing justice done.
