“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?”
- Marianne Williamson, Return to Love
Countless years have since past as we've
heard it chorused; In the classrooms, In the streets, In the churches -
"Children are the future", "The youth are the leaders of
tomorrow".
But.... the youth have now gotten old. Some
got so old that their time came and they have even passed away. Yet the same
people who have lead and governed for 30 - 50 years are still leading and
governing today. With the trend we're on, it seems we go further and further in
the past to drudge up leaders from regiments and councils of old to take the
reigns of power.
Are we so incapable, we "youth",
of taking control of our own lives? Our present? Our very futures? Will we
stamp down our heritage? Have we young lions forgotten how to roar? Meant to be
eagles, but unable to soar.
