The+Struggle+Reflection

The American nation was founded on the very notion of struggle. Even before the country was founded, Americans struggled to survive in a new land that was inhospitable to them whilst under submission to a government three thousand miles across the Atlantic. Now, the United States is by far the most powerful nation in the world, but the notion of struggle is all but forgotten. Struggles in this country are so widespread that without an exorbitant amount of hope, Americans would not be able to survive. // Let's put all the cards on the table: any real change that has occurred in this country has been an extremely difficult struggle. From the American Revolution to the present issue of immigration reform, every single landmark of social change has been marked by years of struggle. //** Struggle without hope means absolutely nothing. If one wishes that their struggle bears some fruit, then one must have hope in the struggle, because, as we all know, it is an arduous journey to walk down Struggle Lane.
