I never would have believed you 30 years ago if you had described what our country (USA) is like today!
We are living the cycle of democracy that is often attributed to Lord Woodhouselee (Alexander Fraser Tytler, Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee – Wikipedia):
The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
– From bondage to spiritual faith;
– From spiritual faith to great courage;
– From courage to liberty;
– From liberty to abundance;
– From abundance to selfishness;
– From selfishness to complacency;
– From complacency to apathy;
– From apathy to dependence;
– From dependence back into bondage.
Many of the principles of freedom taught in schools for 200 years are being lost. But, if we rely on our creator, as our founding fathers did, we have good reason to hope that He will find a way to bring these principles back.
I hope to play a part, even if it’s a small part, in the restoration of freedom.
