The Manifesto of a President
What is it that drives a man to reach for the highest office in the land?
All of the first things that come to mind should be based on integrity. Without this virtue a man should even consider the presidency. A man should have a sound conscience and put the needs of the people before his own. It shouldn’t be considered a position where you rule the people. Actually it should be the exact opposite. For the people by the people. You are their servant. They entrust a single individual with their livelihood. Safety, prosperity, rights, and above all else freedom. Man was not created to be oppressed, they were created to be free.
Many people take this for granted. They should have the ability to do so, but the knowledge to know they shouldn’t. It takes the collective to achieve the greater good. Apathy is one of the true villains against freedom and the president should be trusted to uphold it. He should help remind the people that he will provide for them all they deserve and return they should strive to be a better collective.
The sad fact of the world is that safety is not guaranteed. There are forces of evil that will work against the common man. People are inherently good. Born without sin. But outside factors can poison one’s soul. Hate, greed, and ignorance posed man’s greatest threat. These evils live not only abroad, but also at home. A president need to know where these impurities lay and the best course of action to rectify the world. Violence is sometimes necessary. The first solution should always come through education and negotiations.
Language is what sets us apart from animals. The ability to communicate and work through difference must be the first course of action. History has proved that though this is the preferred course that it isn’t always successful. With freedom and humanity in the balance one must have the courage to lead with strength. Know when the time is right to strike with force rather than with words. The most difficult decision a commander and chief can make is sending innocent citizens to die.
That is the power of freedom though. Brave men and women volunteer to risk their own selves for the greater good. Admiration and support should be bestowed on these individuals. We cannot stand idly by and say we can afford to fight wars, but not support those that come home broken. These soldiers suffer not only external injuries but also internal. It is not natural for man to be exposed to the horrors of War, no matter how necessary. That sacrifice should be rewarded with at least support when they come home. Our heroes.
Beyond safety and freedom the president must put prosperity to the forefront of what he does. This is a country that must always be moving forward. Leader in technology, medicine, education and quality of life is essential for the American people. For so long we have set the standard. Not for some self-fulfilling pat on the back, but because the American people have a drive that is not found in every creed or culture. We began this culture with a dream. A formation of a place that anything is possible.
Our communities need to be a place where everyone is nurtured regales of the individual. Every man is created equal in the eyes of American, and no one should have these rights taken away. It takes ambition though. It takes the American people to move forward with that same drive that brought waves of immigrants to this country. It created a melting pot of all races and cultures to form one uniformed for every man.
The world has become a very small place. Where once it was impossible to communicate with certain areas we can now be there within a day. It is a miracle that some would count as impossible. It won’t end there though. We need to set the example of what a country should be. Instantaneous communication is at our finger time. It is an immense responsibility. What we do in these coming years will define the future and we should all take that privilege very seriously. The future is in our hands.
Humbly yours,
Michael Wryght
