"At moments like
this, I think it’s important to remember what terrorists and violent extremists
are trying to do: They are trying to hurt innocent people, but they also want
to inspire fear in all of us and to disrupt the way we live and to undermine
our values,” President Obama at a press conference yesterday.
America was not founded on
fear. She was founded on inspiration and the desire for individual and
collective freedom.
The foundation of America
is layer after layer of noble ideals, sacrifice, hard work, and a shared
vision. Fear is something we embrace when we think we have something to lose,
when in fact fear holds nothing but emptiness and want. Courage, the antithesis
of fear, holds the abundance we seek and the future we hope for.
