POST 371 BE SIGHTFUL ABOUT FREEDOM!

HI.

PLEASE FORGIVE TYPING ERRORS. HAVE HAD EYE PROBLEMS AND HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD AT PROOF READING FOR AWHILE.

THIS BLOGGER IS AS USUAL ALWAYS SURPRISED THAT THOSE GIFTS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED LIKE OUR EYESIGHT ARE SO SURPRISINGLY IMPORTANT TO US ONLY WHEN WE HAVE PROBLEMS. THE REST OF THE TIME WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED AND
THINK IT'LL ALWAYS BE THERE.

UNFORTUNATELY WE ONLY MISS WHAT WE DON'T HAVE AND DON'T EXPECT TO LOSE. FREEDOM'S THE  SAME STORY.  WHEN YOU'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED IT,  IT'S HARD TO CONCEIVE OF LOSING IT. OR EVEN UNDERSTANDING THAT MOST FOLKS IN THE WORLD  LIVE UNDER SOME SORT OF CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.  A LOT OF THEM DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT  FREEDOM IS LIKE SO CAN'T TELL IF THEY WOULD PREFER IT TO WHATEVER THEY ARE USED TO NOW.

CONSISTENTLY THOSE WHO HAVE HAD IT AND LOST IT SOMEHOW--REALLY WANT IT BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!! HARDSHIPS AND ALL. IT'S  NOT SURPRIZING. FREEDOM AFTER A FORM OF SLAVERY IS LIKE A GULP OF SWEET, COOL FRESH AIR AFTER A HEAT WAVE. THERE IS A DESIRE TO TAKE GREAT GULPS AND SAVOR IT AND SAVE IT.

AGAIN, WE DON'T MISS IT UNTIL IT'S GONE AND WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T ENJOY OUR PRECIOUS GIFT SO THEY DON'T CHANCE LOSING IT OUT OF IGNORANCE AND CARELESS  BEHAVIOR. THAT USED  TO BE EASIER THAN IT IS NOWADAYS BECAUSE WHEN THE NATION WAS NEWER WE HAD MANY IMMIGRANTS TO PASS ON THE PROBLEMS THAT EXISTED IN THE PLACES THEY CAME FROM AND THAT DID NOT EXIST IN A FREE SOCIETY. THEY NEVER LET THEIR CHILDREN FORGET THAT NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL THEIR FORMER LAND, THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF FOOD, JOBS, AND PEACE. THE LAND WAS MOST OFTEN CONTROLLED BY GREEDY MEN WHO DID NOT ALLOW FREEDOM  OR AN ESCAPE FROM WANT. THEIR LEADERS TOOK IT ALL AND LEFT NONE FOR TTHE DOWNTRODDEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT'S WHY THIS BLOGGER FEELS IT'S A MISTAKE TO LOSE  HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN SCHOOLS SO THAT STUDENTS AT LEAST GAIN AN IN INSIGHT INTO THE PROBLEMS IN LANDS THAT BASICALLY LIVE UNDER CONTROLS OF ONE KIND OR ANOTHER. SOCIALISM SOUNDS GOOD UNTIL ONE REALIZES WHAT AMOUNT OF FREEDOM IS LOST FOR MUCH LESS GAIN AND SOMETIMES NO GAIN AT ALL WHEN THE PROMISES FAIL TO MATERIALIZE. PROMISES ARE EASY TO MAKE BUT OFTEN  IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP EVEN FOR THE MOST SINCERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FREEDOM PROMISES ONLY ONE THING--THE RIGHT TO TRY TO DO AS WELL AS YOU CAN AND LIVE IN AS MUCH PEACE AND HARMONY AS YOU CAN MANAGE. IT'S NOT A GIVEN BUT A RIGHT THAT DEPENDS ON YOU TO PRESERVE AND CHERISH FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

MUCH AS THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO SEE MUST BE PRESERVED BY OURSELVES, WITH THE HELP OF THOSE WHO THANKFULLY SELECT A PROFESSION OF HELPING OTHERS PRESERVE IT. BECAUSE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE THOSE WHO MAKE A PROFESSION OF PRESERVING FREEDOM AND CHOOSE TO HELP OTHERS PRESERVE THEIRS. THE ARMED SERVCES, THE COURTS AND THE LEGAL STAFFS INCLUDING THE LAWYERS, POLICE, GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL CHOSEN BY US TO HELP PRESERVE THAT WHICH WE HOLD DEAR !!!!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER THE KEY WORDS ARE HELP US  PRESERVE--NOT  PRESERVE IT FOR US. HELP US PRESERVE FREEDOM AND ALL ITS BENEFITS SO THAT WE CAN PASS IT ALONG  TO OUR CHILDREN AND OTHERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!  IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND MY RESPONSIBITY AS A WRITER TO REMIND YOU TO PAY YOUR DUES FOR FREEDOM  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S LIKE YOUR EYESIGHT !!!!!!!!!!           ONCE IT'S GONE COMPETELY YOU MAY NEVER REGAIN IT. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T RISK IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO WWHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU ARE STILL FREE AND SIGHTFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BE SIGHTFUL ABOUT FREEDOM !

CHEERS, CONNIE
