I may feel like an alien in this city's rush, where buildings replace nature's touch, and bars echo louder than the stars' symphony. But I know, deep within, that I am here on Earth to seek something more profound. To explore mountains that touch the sky, bathe in the vastness of the ocean's embrace, and witness the celestial ballet of stars. I will not limit myself to idolizing mere mortal beings, nor waste my time in idle gossip. I choose to dive deep into the profound meaning of my existence, to understand the purpose set forth by the divine.

Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step over the ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a Thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
