The Leader of the Wolf Pack Must Remain at the Back

Right-wing or left-wing it's still the same bird.

Right-wing or left-wing it's still the same bird. What use is a self-serving bird who only hunts for himself and himself only? The same bird that preys on the vulnerable to ensure its survival. Relying on its wings of power fueled by the force of fear and the exploitation of others. The bird takes without a charge expecting those below his rule to cover his bill. The bird is no use to the people, only to itself. We may as well shoot the bird down and eat it. Now people are starving and struggling to put food on the table for their children. We will refer to this notion as the Dutch Method if the option horrifically occurs. Unfortunately for the bird, fear is nothing compared to hunger.

We do not need to not look to the bird as an ideal system that is the only path available. We cannot recognise ourselves in the bird. We cannot identify with the bird. We do not need to be ruled by tyrants who often dance in the flames of the sun. We need a leader who has the ability to create a new path for humanity to walk, and not be afraid of the media to take the first step.

We should instead look to the wolf. A wolf who because of law is tamed - domesticated. Unlike the bird, the wolf is a part of a pack but must be responsible for itself. The wolf can shape its environment, changing the ecosystem benefiting it rather than taking from it. The dynamics of a wolf pack are simple:

The strongest (selected by the alpha) lead the pack, which shows the vulnerable, old, young, and physically weak the way, while the remaining strongest ensure that those in front are well protected and cared for. The strength of the pack is based on the absence of poverty, not its assets. If all members of the pack do as expected the entire pack thrives. Supporting each other as one, while remembering they are one of many. The leader of the wolf pack must remain at the back. The far back.

We should search for a leader with this wolf-like mentality, who will lead the people into an age of awakening without the constraints of fear under the eye of mass surveillance. Marking the golden age of Aquarius. A leader who will protect, defend, and listen to the common people. A leader that is capable of compassion and empathy, reason and logic. A leader who is critical but positive, firm but fair. A leader with the 'soul of genius and the auxiliary of virtue.' A leader who values equity in addition to equality to make a world in which that is just. A leader who views others as their equal because they are haunted by their own morality, and for this, they will value every life as a precious gift, that of course death keeps forever.

It saddens me to know that when unexpectedly the world froze in the face of the unknown, we had a window of opportunity to begin again. It was an opportunity for reincarnation, and yet of course we missed the call. Isolated in our homes we forgot how to behave. Despite our desperate attempts to show support to those on the frontline of it all. We forgot how to talk to one another, and respect one another. We have forgotten our humanity. There was slither of a new world where the community was revived and the identity of the nation seemed defined, solid, and secure. Working together for the benefit of everyone else. It was I and We in perfect harmony. You and Me.

However, in great human being fashion, this was extremely short-lived. We quickly resulted in a division of fact over fiction. While blurring the lines between what is the truth and what is the lie. Covid with a side of confusion. Just for a brief moment the world healed, and the planet could breathe; it was beautiful. A memory I will be sure to remember.

If we are to invent a new world, a better world to live in, we cannot behave as we did in the old world; we must change within ourselves and drop our new behaviours. History will continue to repeat itself until humanity learns how to change its path. Never forget this. Perspectives and people must change along with laws and policies. Change is our only constant other than taxes. We must embrace change as it comes, we must change. We must adapt, we must allow natural selection to continue. We must do so now, while we still have time to come together as one species residing on a wounded planet, otherwise, we will reach our peak in evolution (if we have not already) and we will certainly all perish as one.

So where do we begin?

It begins with you. The individual, who among other individuals, makes up the collective body of the nation. We must find the balance required by the universe. We must redefine what it means to be human. Together we must exchange our concerns and raise solutions, working with each other until a natural leader emerges. We must aim to build a fortress built out of bricks made on free healthcare, individualised education, universal basic income, sustainable energy, and so forth. A fortress built by the people for the people. A fortress with the ability to stand the test of time. We will anticipate future problems for which we will plant the seeds. Allowing a garden to flourish under the nutrition of nurture and care, passed on through generation after generation so that our predecessors can live their lives to the fullest.

It is terrible that yes we will never see a world such as this, but if we can achieve the seeds then I will rest a lot easier knowing I did so. We are in a period of transition, the end of day's era. The card of death foretells a new beginning, a new creation. But what exactly comes after this? When it all collapses? Who will be the one to rise out of the ashes? Or will there be no one left at all to do so? The world would continue without us don't forget.

I beg you to not fear the uncertain and unclear future that is hovering on the horizon. We must all run towards it without fear of the unknown, just curiosity and determination to fix the messes that we have inherited. In unified defiance to the bird, we could all live as free wolves. All we need is our alpha...
