Elders

Picture
The order of things is that we follow our elders in their lead. Our only problem currently is that our elders don't know how to truly be elders; and those who know how do not receive the respect they deserve. Several generations ago we either forced legitimate elders into hiding or we killed them. Now we have several generations worth of people wanting to know who they are supposed to trust enough to listen to and to follow.  

If the natural order is that we follow elders, then how do we follow someone we intuitively know isn't equipped to lead? How do we respond to an unnatural order where we have no choice but to become our own elders? If this is the only option available right now, then so be it. Those of us will step in, if we have to.

However.

This is a call out to the people who can trust themselves enough to live in leadership to do so. Lead, please. We will follow, and with respect.
