Leadership and Choice
In dark times, many place their hopes on brave leadership to take them towards their aspirations. When this occurs, the emergence of leaders, provide a beacon for those who actually know what they want but needed some initial motivating force to set them in motion; however, the desire is already primed by internal conviction with steam built up from oppressive forces from dark agendas. Hopefully, this internal conviction was already there before a leader is precipitated among a background of worthy candidates. If not, you will fall prey to following the piper even when there is a departure of goals, which is a recurring historical theme.
The actual motive force is within each of us. Your internal compass is your local reference, always stay vigilant, and check this against where you are lead. The leader is just a currently visible point we can all move towards, providing a coherent resistance against the oppression before us that is more powerful than an individual can muster.
Do not press forward blindly, following the current designated leader. When the direction becomes highly deviated from your internal compass, be ready to part ways.
It is through strengthening your internal sense of correctness that new leaders can be identified, if needed, or it's your turn to lead for awhile or the situation no longer requires leadership. In any case, the differences among us allows the emergence of better solutions, to be tested in the real world. This I choose in opposition to "elite" agendas propped up by wealth and hubris. I choose to acknowledge human limitations and allow trial and error as legitimate means of solving problems in apposition to stale ossified mental constructs that leaves little room to evolve. I choose the many experiments freely engaged in by free minds in opposition to the whims of the few who think they know best. When the oppressive forces try to limit those choices, I choose to move to counter those forces with like minded people.
In this way, we as a people, will have a chance to evolve towards solutions. There maybe many that need to exist to maximize the potential of diverse humans. Not one size fits all solutions or fits some self identified "elite's" agenda. Leaders are just people, and, people are unfortunately limited and flawed. No person understands the whole truth. No person can lead without your choice to be lead. Never allow external forces make you feel that you have no choice. In the end, your choice is all you may have.
