Thomas Jefferson is one of my role models because he would have been one of the best bloggers and blogging teachers of the world. He wrote not for himself but to inspire others, both in his time and in generations to come. He wrote daily, consistently, predictably, and eagerly.
Today our nation officially observes Memorial Day. Most likely, in Jefferson's time, memorial day was every day because he remained totally aware of how his light and liberty happened, every day. Americans started Memorial Day as a focus for all citizens right after the Civil War. If asked to speak today to all of us--business owners, customers, and patriots of every generation, I'm guessing he would post the following message in his blog.
These are his exact words, as he wrote them.
"The first object of my heart is my own country, the asylum for whatever is great and good. In that is embarked my family, my fortune, and my own existence. I have not one farthing of interest, nor one fibre of attachment out of it, not a single motive of preference of any one nation to another, but in proportion as they are more or less friendly to us. There is not a country on earth where there is greater tranquility; where the laws are milder, or better obeyed; where every one is more attentive to his own business or meddles less with that of others; where strangers are better received, more hospitably treated, and with a more sacred respect; where the virtues of the heart are less exposed to be weakened."
The words written by Thomas Jefferson is very effective. He has compared his feelings with his country. The memorial day is an genuine tribute by Americans to Thomas Jefferson.
