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.

Belief short circuts

Belief is a powerful thing. It is so powerful that it can short circut the mind. Belief overrides our logic, reason and everything else dealing with the mind. Belief can turn the most intelligent and educted into babbling fools.
If you don't believe me just bring up a discussion that hits people in their heart and watch the arguments you get, and if you are able to escape with your life. You will understand what I mean.
I'm not writing this to get you to look at other's beliefs, but to challenge you to look at your own beliefs. Take a good look at your beliefs and see if they fit into reality. Most importantly look at your beliefs about yourself and your abilities. Are you living your life the way you should and want to live your life or are you living your life in accordance with some of your false beliefs about yourself. Ask yourself key questions and challenge what you believe about yourself, the world you live in, about your God, and etc..
When you ask yourself some key questions you begin to understand that you are or maybe living your life according to some out dated and unproven beliefs. Beliefs that were given to you by those who came before you. These beliefs will have to be battled with to remove them from your psyche  The sooner you get started the better for you.
