HELLO!

My name is Barbara Ayash

This letter is being sent to Americans believing our nation has been nominated by the world to keep the torch of Freedom burning. Since 1776 – Americans, including children, have set the example for the rest of the world.
 

The 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, put it this way: “Democracy must be based not on ‘mere’ opinion but on ‘moral purpose.” This great man led this nation in a war that defended freedom for all people in America, be they white, black, red, brown, or yellow because he believe in the basic goodness of mankind.
 

A leading black educator, Luis W. Sullivan, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services once stated: “To teach young people that their lives are governed – not by their own actions, but by socio-economic forces or . . . forces beyond their control—is to teach our children negativism, resignation, passivity and despair. Values [morals] pave the way out of poverty and toward prosperity and fulfillment. “
 

Whether earned or won by war, freedom is not based on enslavement, hatred, dishonesty, mistrust, murder, robbery or other crimes, drug abuse, illiteracy or injustice. If ‘Freedom,’ according to Mr. Lincoln, is based on ‘moral purpose’ then a definition of the term ‘moral’ that anyone can understand is required. Webster’s New World Dictionary definition reads: . . “folkways that are considered conducive to the welfare of society and so, through general observance, develop the force of law, often becoming part of the formal legal code.” Example: “Moral people are those capable of making the distinction between right and wrong in conduct.”
 

The author of a book first published in 1981 titled The Way To Happiness® defined the term “morals” this way: “There is freedom in knowing what is thought right and what is thought wrong. There is only slavery when nobody knows and the rules are ‘off the cuff.’ If a moral code were thoroughly reasonable, it could, at the same time be considered thoroughly ethical. But only at this highest level could the two be called the same.
 

It is not just the job of our loved ones in uniform set to go to war. It is the job of every citizen to HELP take responsibility for some of the things America stands for. Today we live in a dangerous environment. War seems eminent. Even children protest that idea. If you champion the dignity of mankind and freedom for mankind, then you believe in the basic goodness of mankind. The United States Constitution is based on a belief in mankind, his basic goodness, his right to personal freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
 

If we as a great society begin to pull together towards a purpose shared in common as stated by President Lincoln, we can help create a better society for all. We can ensure our children and grandchildren inherit a less dangerous world – perhaps even a world based on mutual understanding, peace, tolerance and freedom for all mankind.
