A Sunday breakfast thought
While reading morning papers after breakfast today, a random thought entered my head. I wonder if the way a nation is gaining its independence determines its future success.
To make it more visual. If a nation has to fight for its independence, not necessarily in a bloody war, but risking to be prosecuted and punished for the pro-independence movement, will it put more effort into proving later that the cause was worth the fight? On the contrary, if a nation gets its freedom on a silver plate with a golden rim, will it take the success for granted and be complacent about its further success?

Sort of like the difference between the USA and Canada?? ;)
Ha-ha. Didn't really think of that, but might be worth researching (?)
