The founding fathers of the United States were oppressed, and thus they became and remained idealists, not abandoning the greatness of establishing rights of freedom, happiness, and security. They did not falter, and though now yesterday’s truth may have become the modern world’s propaganda, let us not forget that the founders of these laws which govern the world, not only the US, and the shape of human rights, its codification in most all countries, were men who were deeply wronged, criminalized, and oppressed.
For behold, even after their own passing, these same laws and rights were used to overturn the oppression of those whom they themselves did not grant those same freedoms.
Idealism is a force and it is a power and everlasting prism containing the great lights and concepts that may change the world.
