This I Believe
.This
I believe. is not just a statement. It has meaning and a person.s values
behind
it. I believe can sometimes lead to someone not speaking their mind. This
is
what I believe, that people in America silence themselves to not be
victims to
crimes because of their thoughts.. I believe that some Americans want to
speak
what is on their minds however they feel as though a .ghost. is holding
them
back. Although our founding fathers fought for our rights to speak what is
on
our mind people chose to hold back the thoughts that are running around in
their head. I believe this! People do not want to upset the person who
they do
not know but our government has no issue telling us that gay marriage is
wrong.
Our government has no problem telling us that our economy is in ruins
however
they fail to come up with a valid solution. Our government has no problem
describing the tragedies that have come upon our great nation such as
hurricane
Katrina and September 11th, 2001 however both places are still in
recovery. I believe that Americans do live in a place that is divided
among the
rich and the silent not the rich and the poor. People like myself who do
not
have money to go against what the rich do we watch and anticipate the
outcome
of their actions for us. I believe that we as silent Americans need to
stand
together and fight the American fight. Although this is a task that many
people
do not want to participate in I believe that our country would become
united as
one instead of divided as many.
This
is only what I believe and I will live with the reactions that people give
me
for describing the silent Americans. However the silent Americans will
listen
and rejoice in knowing that they are not alone. I believe that we as
silent Americans will unite one day to solve the
issues of gay marriage, fix our stumbling economy, save the city under
water
and defeat the terrorist who destroyed many lives on September 11th,
2001. The silent Americans will speak with no words but with action and
this is
what I believe.
