The real meaning of July 4th is not fireworks, picnics and barbecues – Its America’s Declaration of Independence – the instigating document of Her democracy and freedom.
Like India’s Independence Act 1947, also from the British, it reminds us that the founding fathers of America, like MK Gandhi, saw things very differently – The gift of freedom is not for any particular government or national leader to bargain or compromise. Freedom is not free – it is a very expensive treasured commodity.
“Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the very breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?” ~ Gandhi
May we all have a safe and reverent holiday, may the FOURTH be with us!
“May the FOURTH be with us!” I love it! LOL
