Strung Out
...our real independence day; The day our existing government ratified the Treaty of Paris and the United States of America was now fact.
Question; would we be better off celebrating the fact, January 14, 1784, what we did, or what we're going to do, the intention, July 4, 1776?
We don't celebrate engagement. We celebrate marriage.
For birthdays, we don't celebrate that we are entering our next year of life. We celebrate reaching the current year.
Writing a 'bucket list' isn't the fun. Writing things off of it is.
Again, we don't celebrate what we intend to do. We celebrate what we accomplished and I am pondering if, maybe, we'd be better off, at least politically, if we made more of a fuss over what gets done than over what is promised.
