following vs leading

in #blog6 years ago (edited)

Had an fb contact that bemoaned there was no leader for the racial issues of this country (U.S.A.).

Anyone want to volunteer to be assassinated?

We all have to be leaders in our own way. Whatever small way we can be, we all have to stand up whenever and wherever we are able. That is key: when we are able.

Sometimes, it may mean we stand up when we think we are not able--that's up to each individual.

Sometimes, it may mean we can't stand up--that's up to each individual.

Truly and deeply know this: there has never been a time when information is so available, opportunities to stand are so available and the need to stand up, in whatever capacity we can, is so needed. An absolutely imperative time we are living in--it has never been like this before in known history.
