Autocracy versus Anarchy
Since the first voices graced the planet, humanity has endeavored to ensure the margins of decency by finding the organizational zone of sanity; since that day, we have battled a million forces to eliminate the extremes of opposite directions. An unbridled leadership is rightly defined as an Autocracy — and is in violation of reasonable ethics. Even when rules are orchestrated as stringent, such are arguably more civil than what you witness in the other direction. That reversal of “rights and fights” is called Anarchy or MOB RULE. When no one is in charge, the majority is headed “down hill” with any sensible process at zero. The reason for this commentary, is that we are “A HAND’S BREADTH FROM THAT POSITION AT THIS HOUR!”
With a summary of polarized slants on our National Leadership, the entire world seems to mimic the intolerable paths set forth — and have formed a stampede on standards and values from East to West. Our Southern Border is in chaos, the Northern Border only a step behind, the Middle East in total disarray, the rivals of a Russian rift down the tubes, uncertainties with NATO, Asia Pacific Countries and Islands an unequivocal “mixup,” the utter discombobulation of the United Nations, Latin America with daily questions and the atmospheric state of “political properties” leaving the charts as we write. Our single biggest problem in the present hour is “NO ONE WITH A VOICE OF CLARITY, AUTHORITY, AND RESPECT IS KEEPING THE STORE.’’ In short, we substantially have Mob Rule on the global scene–and in that state of affairs, those with the loudest voice are in charge!
That is precisely why we occasionally allow questionable entities to “lead the parade!’’ And that is why Statutes and Laws are written against those who move as a mob. All actions and behavior become legal, ethical, and morally responsible when “all hands press for a post at the podium.” Peace treaties are never signed with “an armful of dissidents.” but only with some kind of leadership; and hopefully with a recognized mentality of knowledge and wisdom.
Until that hour, the entire room is much like a monkey with a shotgun. That being said, the most dangerous position for an organization, a family, a country, or a political segment is to have no certain party guiding the ship! Even wagon trains had someone blazing the trail! Keep your favorites a secret if you must, but in the end find a brand of consensus and support a credible Courier. That, my friend, will be your safety net!
