My dear,
Here we are. Here we are in an age where we look to the exterior, to the outward, for our enemy. Here we are targeting the rest of the world as if that’s the enemy that’ll bring us down.
How wrong we are.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
If we lose our freedoms it’ll be because we had not taught our children how to properly think for themselves, how to properly put their needs before their wants, and how to properly think about the long term and not just the present.
Heed this warning – If America falls, it’ll because we destroyed ourselves.
Falsely yours,
Abraham Lincoln
