Awakening Souls

A forum for all those awakening souls who wish to communicate with others

You know every year we bbq Memorial Day. This year I woke up early
before anyone else woke and with all the quite I start thinking about
Memorial Day after all I know it was not meant to be a day to set aside
to enjoy bbq it was rather to honor the men and women who died so I
could enjoy that bbq.

Now I begin to ask myself how do i honor those men and women certinly
not by stuffing my pie hole lol, Some do it by displaying a flag in
thier front yard others by decorating the graves of those who died for
our freedom.

These are nice ways to honor the men and women who died for our freedom
no doubt and I salute the kind folks who do it, however this is a
temporary once a year observence the men and women who died did so in
order for us to enjoy our freedoms each and everyday we live if we only
show honor once a year then are we not really making thier deaths for
naught?

At this point many are like what do you mean? are we to keep the flag
flying 365 days a year? or decorate graves every day? i certainly would
not discourage either action.

However I had something more meaningful in mind atleast in my opinion
more meaningful
you see we live in a age of religious intolerance and a age of control
that I feel makes the deaths of those men and women meaningless. What
I'm suggesting is fighting for each others freedom each and everyday. if
your a christian don't condemn wiccans in your efferts to convert the
and vice versa this is only mean as an example of what i'm talking about
my Uncle Raymond always said live and let live in my opinion this is a
highly patriotic philosophy. I would not begin to take away anyones
freedom myself i was in the Marines almost went to war myself had I went
and died it would have been nice to know my sucessers honored me by
respecting each others freedoms.

I here by committ myself to honoring the those who died for my freedom
each and everyday
by respecting everyones religion
by respecting everyones opinions no matter how much I disagree with them
by respecting everyone simple freedom of speech
by respecting everyone right to dress as they choose
by respecting everyones right to choose thier mate with no fear of condemnation from me

I encourage and invite everyone this Memorial Day to do the same because
by respecting the freedoms of other not only do we do we honor the men
and women who died for us but we also make America a nicer place to live

Happy Memorial day everyone
i don't usually do this but I'm making an exception if you agree with
this post please pass it along after all the more who see it the more
who will have a chance to think about it.
