Abraham Lincoln's words are a powerful reminder that freedom is not just a right but also a responsibility. Those who deny others their freedom do not deserve it for themselves, and ultimately they will lose it under the rule of a just God.

Throughout history, we have seen countless instances where individuals and groups have been denied their fundamental rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is our duty to stand up against these injustices and fight for the freedoms that are rightfully ours as humans.

We must never forget that true justice requires us to treat every human being with dignity and respect regardless of who they are or what they believe in. We must always strive towards creating a society where individual liberty is valued above all else.

Let Abraham Lincoln's inspiring words be an encouragement to us all as we continue our journey towards creating a world where everyone can live in peace, free from oppression or fear!! #AbrahamLincoln #JusticeAndFreedom #IndividualLiberty
