Calming Nation: where your fears go to die. I am the President of a country that knows rest. Peace is the air we breathe and happiness is the music we dance to. We have our own problems but we deal with them in time. We rise when we fall; we ride through every stop. Our constitution allows everyone to grow; knowing for a fact that that is what we are here for. Expression is allowed and we have learnt to embrace our differences. The fear-mongers are shunned and their power is stripped off. The afraid are taught how to overcome and we don't force things, we let them become us. We are winners of battles we do not have to fight and when the enemy is upon us; they've chosen their predicament. We pick the battles that are necessary and evil will never find its way into our hearts. We defend the weak and protect the vulnerable. We speak up against unfair and unjust treatment and we remedy the things that ail us. Our anthem symbolizes us and our flag is painted in our hearts. We have found harmony and peace and that is necessary. We have loved the atmosphere we exist in knowing well that we would be comfortable even if we had to live elsewhere. We have joined forces with our friends and we treat our enemies with respect. We help wherever we can and build everything that is beautiful. You see, we are compassion and compassion is us. Bullies are not given an ear and to step on our toes is to injure your feet. We are responsible and respectable while at it. We do not compete for favours; we do what is right. We show up on time and rightly so. We learn where we fail and we teach well how to respond to different situations. Our children are given the opportunities they deserve and they learn from us the best ways to go about things; allowed to learn for themselves. We encourage excellence and we reprimand the wrongdoings. We correct our mistakes in fashioned detail. Not every problem is solved the same way and not one solution is applicable to every situation. So we don't complain, we seek the right solution. We do not worry; we work smart enough to make things better. We are not afraid because we already know what we stand for. We are proud of the much we have achieved and gratefully hopeful for the many that will come. We have reason to celebrate and we do not overdo it. We have places to go and we don't overcrowd them. We have money to spend and we do not waste it. We have time in our hands and we cultivate the most out of it. Most importantly, we have our peace to defend and we do not let anyone interfere with it. A friend once asked me, as a leader, would you rather be loved or feared? Now, I say, loved by my own and feared by the weak.
