Sometimes I fear that even as a People when we take one step forward, we reel backwards ten times fold. I don't even think on the Precipice of Change will we truly move forward... It will most definitely take a Miracle.

About This Quote

This quote is essentially a warning from someone who is not very optimistic about the direction in which our country is heading. It is a warning that we cannot afford to take one step forward and ten steps back. In a very short period of time, we have gone from a country that was known for being tolerant of many lifestyles and beliefs to a place where people are being persecuted for their sexual orientation, religion, and political views. This quote also brings up the idea that we still think that there is something wrong with this country even though we very well know that there isn't. The fact that this man says at the end of the quote that “it will most definitely take a miracle” suggests that he believes things will get better but he does not expect it to happen quickly.
