Quote by Abraham Lincoln

Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.

Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prize

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of protecting and cherishing the spirit of liberty. It suggests that as long as this spirit is alive within people, it acts as a defense against tyranny and oppression. By preserving this spirit, we ensure that liberty remains a fundamental right for everyone, regardless of their nationality or location. However, if this spirit is extinguished, it paves the way for a society to fall under the control of despotic rulers, threatening freedom for individuals and societies as a whole.

Human beings of all societies in all periods of history believe that their ideas on the nature of the real world are the most secure, and that their ideas on religion, ethics and justice are the most enlightened. Like us, they think that final knowledge is at last within reach. Like us, they pity the people in earlier ages for not knowing the true facts. Unfailingly, human beings pity their ancestors for being so ignorant and forget that their descendants will pity them for the same reason.

Each human being is unique, each with their own qualities, instincts, forms of pleasure, and desire for adventure. However, society always imposes on us a collective ways of behaving, and people never stop to wonder why they should behave like that. They just accept it, the way typists accepted the fact that the QWERTY keyboard was the best possible one. Have you ever met anyone is your entire life who asked why the hands of a clock should go in one particular direction and not the other?
