I have no followers, and I am glad.

in #leadership8 years ago

I am not a leader. I do. If I had followers, then I would have to hold a facade that isn't true to who I am.

Sure, I may promote liberty, and freedom, but as I am not a perfectly programmed bot, I am not perfected in this flesh. Realizing that, I plan with all earnesty, when I do make mistakes, that I correct them, and hopefully learn from them.

However, I am no purist by the measure of the flesh either, because I am also a Christian Minister, who promotes Anarchy. I do so knowing that the promotion of the government in the bibles are of a modern invention. I learn to study the scriptures in the oldest manuscripts that I can find, that I may promote love, peace, and compassion of God, rather than the wrath that modern man believes he deserves.

How can I be an Anarchist and a Christian at once? If you are standing in the rain, and family, who have a home, invite you in, but yet you decide to continue to stand in the rain, is it their fault that you are in the rain? Did you not in fact decide to stay in the rain? If you get sick from being in the rain, are you not also to blame for your own actions? So if God says that he will provide life and salvation, and you turn on Him, how is it His fault that you are still in the rain?

In the same manor, if I had followers, am I not leading you into the rain, while I myself am walking into the home prepared for me? If I am leading, and you are following, then you are behind me, and I am walking out of the rain.

If you walk with me, then walk with me, but don't follow. My foot prints a filled with mud, and will slow you down.

My friend @damiancraymond is a Christian Anarchist as well. I'm sure you two would have much in common. "Following" is just a tool we can utilize to bring us closer together in our quest to improve the world. :)

Follower in this case is not referring to steem or other social media. Follower in this case is referring to people who lead in the social challenge to promote change. Obama was a leader. Clinton is a leader. Bush is a leader.

But then not all leaders are evil. Adam Kokesh is a leader, but like me he doesn't want to lead, but to free people so that they can share freedom with others. :)
