Remember

Remember remember, the fifth of November... I don't know about you, but every time I watch the movie V for Vendetta I always get goosebumps when V gives his speeches. Seen as it is November 5, I thought this was an appropriate post. So, what will you remember?

In the National FFA Organization Creed, there is a line that goes "...in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us through the struggles of former years." Again, what will you remember? Will you remember those struggles, those moments when all seemed lost yet success and victory was just around the corner? Will you remember those moments so important, that an act of treason must be taken? I see no reason why they should ever be forgot.

Hope

Today's Thought is an image from the fifth and final season of Fringe. If you are unfamiliar, in this season the (future) world has been taken over by the totalitarian government of the Observers. These men are characterized by their hats and suit-and-tie dress. The poster in the background of this picture is a symbol of the Resistance. It is a symbol of hope for all the human inhabitants of Earth.

Today I was able to hear a phrase from the National FFA Creed: "in the promise of better days through better ways". You see it's this whole idea of hope that keeps us going. While we may not be oppressed by a dictatorial government, we too hold on to hope of better days ahead by doing our best in the present day. It's the American Dream. If I work hard today and play square with those around me, I can reasonably expect that my efforts today will be rewarded tomorrow. Will you provide hope? Will you do your best to ensure a bright future?
