Just be Nice

I completely agree with the author of this article. We should feel blessed to live in this country.  Everywhere some goes to live there will be some flaws but in America we have rights people literally die for in other countries.  Freedom of religion and freedom of speech are just two examples, of rights that some people in this country take for granted.  In Galatians chapter 5 verse 13, Apostle Paul says "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love".  Regardless or not if you are a believer, this verse is an excellent example for Americans to understand. Being born in America we think we have the right to do whatever we want, but people need to have the view that these rights are just privileges. The men that wrote the Bill of Rights wrote them so that Americans could be free and live happy life's.  In our society people do not realize the conditions these rights were written under and  we unfortunately abuse them.  As Americans we should realize we have the freedom to choose, but also realize there are consequences to our choices.  Consequences that do not only effect us but can negatively effect others around us. We should be more considerate of others' feelings around us.  If we could keep these simple truths in mind, we could stop living for our selfishness and in turn be happier
