The New Religion

You know you have a good leader before he is ever elected or enthroned. Not too early though, when the appeal to power is the strongest. We have to appreciate all the time that goes into producing a personality which coheres with being a good leader. If you try to reduce it to the time when they realized it was what they wanted then you are barking up the wrong tree. That moment is the simplest, and can be identifiable to almost everyone. The first moment usually happens when someone realizes all the good things about being someone with political power, and hasn't an inkling about all the hardship that must be traversed before and after he ascends to the throne. Therefore, blessed is he who realizes his aspirations over time. If he doesn't, realizing his aspirations all at once, he may be prone to existence which is oriented to new knowledge which is hardship. All the good things that you thought about was only part of the story of political power, and if you didn't realize that then you will be unprepared for what most of it has to off. You must allow your friends and acquaintances to find your inner leader, and to follow their lead when they tell you that you have something to offer. If you can lead a small group of acquaintances to come together, you can often bring a larger group toward a similar recognition.
Upon realizing the power of the national anthem I looked backwards at the things that made this country and what allowed it to continue to exist. I thought about all the men who had sacrificed their lives for the country and how we would be very different without them. I wondered how strong this feeling was in the others, if they wouldn't or hadn't forgotten about how important everything that happened before was. Only one thing had to change and start a chain reaction for things to be completely different, and I wondered if they knew that. I thought about all those men who would have died in vain had not each generation fought in the next war. When I wonder how our society can go into war after war after war for each subsequent generation, I know that the children and relations of veterans have seen the immediate impact of fighting for their country and have faithfully followed in their footsteps. Therefore, blessed is he who realizes the impact of each and every one of his actions and acts accordingly. If I regretted anything it is because I was younger, and if I was younger then I am now older, after having gained knowledge of my impact on the world. If your father would've taken another wife, or if he had met your mother at a different time in his life then you no longer exist. This is the feeling of death before birth. Never get involved in a genetic experiment, because if you do, then your mind will meld with the body you inhabit, and the continuity of your consciousness will be threatened. We will only begin to appreciate our bodies when we feel the way that they are our only foundation of existence. Without them, the intensity of our emotions will never resonate through the entirety of our soul.
