I was at the Nixon Presidential Library today, and I bought the Applewood Books copy of. The Gettysburg Address.
This is one of my favorite speeches. It is so elegant and simple. It reads as if it was written today, and it is such an inspiration to all Americans.
Maybe as Jedi, we can take some inspiration from it. The speech is about remembering the wars we've gone through, the foundational beliefs of our country, and appreciating the world we live in. It encourages progress. "It is for the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." We are supposed to honor our history, our world, what people do for us, etc.
I think Lincoln was an example of a true Jedi, as he fought for civil liberties, and for our foundational beliefs of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I think this text is one of the most important to read, due to its simplicity, yet compelling message.
