Without the people who make up our nation, would we even have a nation in the first place?

A nation is so much more than just a land bordered off for a specific group of people, but rather a place where we come together as one for the good of the whole.

The strength of our nation comes from the soul of the nation, which comes from the people. I mean this in every aspect, by the morals, by the determination, and by the hope of the people.

We are so blessed to be in a nation where we have freedom of religion, but that freedom is taken for granted too often in this day and time. No matter what religion a person comes from, we all have one thing in common, which is morals.

In order for our nation to be strong, the people need to have a strong base of morals in which they live their lives by. Without that code of morals, the nation would be in shambles because everyone would live in a way that only benefitted them and possibly hurt others.Morals are not all that a strong nation needs.

This country was built not by people being lazy and just getting by, but by those who were determined to make a better life for themselves and the generations to come. A quote from Thomas Jefferson says a lot about this: “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

In order to keep our nation strong, we must be a group of citizens who are willing to work for not just ourselves but for our nation, too.Another aspect that affects our lives is hope. Without hope, there is no motivation to work hard, live a good life, or live at all, for that matter. Once a person looses hope in life, then their life is basically over unless they can regain that hope. When the tough times come around, it will be the strong people who keep hope in their hearts that a better time is coming soon.

A strong nation has citizens who still have hope in the nation, because once they loose hope then they will not want to remain as a whole.Without a doubt, it is the people who make up a nation. It isn’t the government, economy, environment, situation, or anything else. This is especially true in our nation, where the people have a say in how the country is run.

If the people are weak, without rightful determination and without hope, then the nation is the same. If the people are strong, rightfully determined, and hopeful, then the nation is very strong.
