The Paradox of Freedom

hcdjfb

Freedom was placed in our generation's hands as a gift

From those who earned it at a great price.

It is a paradox.  Something so precious, so hard won

is ours to so freely give away.

We are free to give up our freedom.

But we cannot give it away without ceasing to be worthy of those who won it for us.

If we exchange freedom for security, we forget –

That security is a word that applies to a prison as well as a home.
