Shackled

I know first hand the consequences of being dominated by humans. To be told how to feel, think and act. Humans often have a desire to dominate; it is predatory, persistent, and insidious. Why pursue domination? It is one of the most fundamental questions that will never provide a positive answer, as any justification for it can be replaced with cooperation.

The only reason to choose domination over cooperation is if one chooses selfishness. Cooperation is what allows humans to advance, while domination provides a veneer of advancement. In reality, it is built upon animalistic tendencies and ideals. The hope of this human species surviving does not include domination.

What I hope is that those who have made sacrifices for our country remember that their past and present contributions will still bring benefits and affect the world for years to come. Their support allowed perhaps the most important concepts and ideology to flourish and become firmly established in my heart and in the hearts of millions of others.

We have tasted freedom because of their sacrifice, and it is something that I will remember, desire, and promote for the rest of my life. Once given the wings of freedom, a human never forgets how to fly. They can never be shackled in spirit.
