and equal rights; ’tis ours only, to transmit these, the former, unprofaned by the foot of an invader; the latter, undecayed by the lapse of time and untorn by usurpation, to the latest generation that fate shall permit the world to know. This task of gratitude to our fathers, justice to ourselves, duty to posterity, and love for our species in general, all imperatively require us faithfully to perform. “How then shall we perform it? — At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? — Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! — All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
That was Abraham Lincoln in his 1838 Lyceum Address. The second person said,
“What is the greatest commandment? ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And love your neighbor as yourself.’”

That, of course, was Jesus of Nazareth.

We have within our power to not “die by suicide” and see our nation and its people realize the ideals of our country that are yet to be fulfilled. We can only achieve this if we love our neighbor as ourselves. Do I think this lady should have called the police on 11- and 12-year-olds for not wearing masks while skating? No. Do I think her heart is good? Yes. She simply had a failure in execution. I also asked myself, What is she facing? Does she have a loved one fighting COVID-19? Or has she lost someone to this disease? I don’t know. I do know that I don’t lose any of my rights by trying to view life from her perspective. I would hope she would do the same, that she would know that we as a family wear masks when we go into a store or other public places. We wash our hands frequently. We do this not because the government has told us to but because we respect the dignity of others and do not want to see our nation commit suicide and lose the freedoms we enjoy today. It’s not easy, believe me.

P.S. So, what happened you might ask?
The deputy sheriff showed up and did a great job. He spoke with the lady and explained that the kids didn’t need to wear a mask and understood her concern. He also told the kids to not be rude.
