The paradox that is America

The paradox that is America

America is a great place, marked by abundance and freedom. Yet America is also a harsh place. It’s as if the invitation of America is:

The water is great, jump in!

Oh yeah, it’s sink or swim.

Has this not always been the case? When Europeans “discovered” America, they all described it as a land of unbelievable abundance. Yet the first settlers often starved to death.

Abundance abounding. Yet Freedom means you’re not guaranteed a slice of the pie.
