On Independence Day in the US we celebrate freedom. Freedom means we get to do as we please, with limits.
Who guarantees my freedoms? Magistrates, policemen, functionaries of business, government and military. Indeed, official persons do a great deal to ensure our freedoms are protected, but the responsibility is also shared by all.
For example, when I bear with an outburst of anger I enable freedom of speech. I may leave or rebuke, but I do not disallow.
I am thankful for freedom and those who make it possible. And I pray I can ensure it for myself and others.
