It’s Memorial Day. Social media is filled with heart felt words and images to those who died, mostly on foreign soil, defending freedom.
That is what they believe they died for. The only possible way for that to be true is for us to create a real freedom to live and be free to be. For that to be and to be for all as equally as can be, it must be built on a foundation of empathy. We live in no such world and, until then, all those who gave their lives have done so in vain.
