The fall from lofty heights of one who has, up until now, been strong, a leader for others who have lacked the gall, is often seen as dire, and its impact is immense, and yet how odd that rarely does one look to self and so confess that there has been such little effort made to raise the bar, to be, oneself, an example shining near and far.
Why do we look to others who have supposed fame to guide us out from darkness, to give us hope again? In truth we are all capable of feats of untold strength, and none of us is greater than another in this sense. Confidence does play a part, and history does either bind one to the mediocre or give rise to skies above. But life is never over whilst one breathes of earthly air, and gives and takes in equal measure wherever one is, fair.
Opportunities abound, and future times can be far more rewarding than they might otherwise be, if a sense of purpose and hope can be restored. And this is where our fellow men can play their part in aid.
Responsibility is the hallmark of the man who shines with rays of golden sun long into the night. Responsibility to be the best one can, to uphold in principle, the promise of the land. So be your own guide boldly standing before the crowd, and give of confidence without the need for rank or acknowledgement loud.
Egoless and earnest, loving to the core, an example true for others who will follow according to the law which, universally applied, will united us all as one.
