edi are not called to lead from the front, at least from my interpretation of this passage. We lead by example, by uplifting others, by building up each other and those who seek us out.


How are you going to be an example from the back?

Ask the teachers and tutors of men like Marcus Aurelius or Alexander the Great. The teachers and tutors were most assuredly behind their pupils when it came to rank and authority.

So you would rather be the teacher of Alexander the Great rather than Alexander the Great. Why?

Silas, I just want to clarify what I, and I'm sure many others, mean by what we're saying. Do not stop trying to make the world a better place. That is a noble goal that I think many of us here share. What we are saying you might want to rethink is your proposed method for doing so.

Please don't stop trying to be better and make the world better, maybe just adjust your scope a bit. Start small. Also, maybe not talk about taking over the world, I know I don't really want this place any higher on the government's watch list than it probably already is. ;)

No thanks my friend. I'm too clever to trust in a world that would have me as its supreme leader. :lol:

Then again, why should I trust anyone else? :(

Maybe not wanting the big responsibilty and being exposed but enjoying teaching and tutoring? Just a thought ...

So those who can't (or in this case won't), teach? :dry:

:/ As I said, it would be a Council of people representing each country. Not necessarily a Jedi, but someone with whom we could do business.
