JUST DO IT
JUST DO IT!
The phrases "we only ask," and "let us ," and "give us," are entreaties of dependence, not declarations of independence.
Dependents entreat for succor. Independents do not entreat for succor. They do for themselves. Spiritual frame of reference of begging and doing is different, although though the material conditions may be the same!
Too often, blacks in America have entreated, instead of just doing. Barack Obama did not entreat nor retreat. He just did!
We are wise who do likewise.
