Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Set yourself on fire

Set self on fire/
and crowd will gather,spark jumps/
now others aflame?

when we jump into what we are doing totally with out holding back we literally set ourselves on fire. fire has always attracted others. People will gather around to watch you burn, and in watching you the flame that is what you do will inspire others to also to follow their passion there by setting themselves a flame.
When people watch others burning with passion the sparks from that one spreads to those who are ready to burn themselves. this is how revolution or change is sparked. A actual example of this just happened in 2011 when an individual that was so tired of this life and the injustice of the society that he lived in got tired and literally set himself a blaze. The sparks of what he did and the reason why he did it jumped through the people who seen it and those who heard about it. His solitary act caused sparks to fly, and hit the dry wood of the souls in the middle east, and now we are experiencing something called the Arab spring. This one man's act caused a chain reactions that may change the face of the world.
now I am not saying literally set your self on fire, but in a metaphoric sense you have to set yourself a blaze. Find your passion and be willing to light your fire to move toward making it a reality for yourself. You never know what effect it will have in your community, and even the world. You may be the dry piece of wood who soul sparks will fly through the air setting others on fire.
On this Journey we have to be willing to set ourselves on fire to get things moving. We have to be willing to tread where everyone else fears. If not then we are just sheep being led to the slaughter. I believe that those of you are not sheep. I believe that you are the one the world has been waiting for, and it will be through you putting out that book, or writing that blog, or singing that song, or dancing that dance, or inventing that gadget, or supporting that person you believe. When we begin to light up we provide a light for the world to see and they can begin there journey, and when they light their soul up the glow from you and them will provide light so that people can really see the world that they exist in and begin to ask question, and from those questions others will begin to light themselves a blaze, and we will begin a fire that will purify and change the world.
