Bridging the past and the future

Since the beginning of time, patriotism has been the cause of disputes and disagreements among people, young and old. Many battles have been fought, some successfully won and oftentimes lost. During those times, people show their love for country the only way they know how. And that is, through arms and weapons and destruction. There was always the possibility of gaining all and losing everything. That was what they had to go through for the sake of patriotism. Then came the time when weapons were drawn to be by the pen. Writers now secretly attack enemies through prints, making it known what they are against and what they are after. Writing became a powerful instrument in the beginnings of revolts among countrymen. What cannot be won in struggles can now be won in writing. But those that still cannot is still turning to battles. Writing only served as the medium, it triggers the feelings that are well kept and needed to let out. As time goes by, battles became less frequent. Peace somehow settled and people attained the freedom that took centuries to come. Freedom of speech and expression followed and these continue on until today
