Memorial Day is often about those who fought for our freedom, and less about whether we are using the Freedom they fought for. If we are trying to eliminate freedoms from others, what did they fight for?
It seems that we want freedom for others, as long as those freedoms align with our beliefs.
We want others to be free to be just like us.
What if we instead allowed others to be free.
Truly free.
Free to be unlike us.
Free to believe differently.
Free to look differently
Free to be religious or spiritual in ways they find peace, not in your God's Peace.
Free to do what is right in their lives, with their own bodies and to celebrate love in ways they feel most loved.
How broad is your sense of freedom?
Whose freedom are you trying to control in order for your beliefs to be right.
I became much less judgmental after losing my religion.
And, the less control I want over others, the more allowing I can be.
The more I want to be me with integrity, the more I want to honor others and their paths.
I don't have to agree with everyone.
I don't have to like everyone.
I however, want everyone to be free to be themselves.
Regardless of how it appears to me and the rest of the world.
Many have died for our freedom, so let's allow each of us the freedom to be!
