The Pursuit of Happiness and the Decline of America

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Happiness is a feeling , an emotion. Happiness may not last forever because life is not always perfect. There are many American citizens who are thinking about their loved ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives fighting for our freedom to pursue our happiness. I have a French born freind who makes it a point to thank the USA for dying on their behalf. Let us not become the generation that forgets our freedom.
I cant imagine telling anyone how to be happy because I have enough unhappiness in my own life to deal with , but that is our God given right, the right to life. Dont get caught in the trap of telling others how to be happy, but we can encourage others to pursue their happiness.
The only people that I notice trying to pursue this happiness without any sacrifice are the many people from many countries who choose to make this great country their own but reject the American culture. Unfortunataly many American born citizens reject our values and traditions. Real Americans are people who are willing to fight till their last breath to preserve our freedoms and way of life. I will never apologize about my life whether good or bad!! I am an American, I am Free and I will always be proud to live in a country were we can live to our fullest potential and pursue our happiness in peace.
