Leslie and I, alongside many others, are working on a huge community project\event right now. The name of the project is called, "UNITED WE STAND, UNITED WE SERVE". We are very excited about it! The event is going to be held on Saturday, September 11 in our local community. The purpose is to honor those who have served our country, our cities, our communities by joining together in service.
You know, I've been thinking...our country could do that...STAND UNITED for one day...just ONE DAY. Shed ALL our differences and unite. Place ALL religious, political, gender, race, and any personal differences to the side. What if our country for ONE DAY obtained societal solidarity through service?
In a book I have been reading it states the following quote;
"Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world.
Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves.
All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people."
-George Bernard Shaw
People, what if we were unreasonable as a country? What if we adapted the world to ourselves through serving each other? Stand UNITED in progress, UNITED in service? What if we believed it could be done for just one day? The day of September 11.
How unreasonable that would be. How wonderful.
