Independence day in America. The political and national freedom celebrated this day was meant to give all men a chance to rise to their own highest potential. Though independence has not be applied universally, it has at least directional. It has taken time for black people and for women to win the right to vote. Though that right should have been recognized and bestowed from the beginning. It is time now to declare a new kind of freedom: freedom of conscience. This declaration can be made only by and for the individual. Let no one pressure you into thinking and behaving as he thinks you aught to. God has a special song to sing through you that can be offered to the universe only by yourself.
