Religion can be lead by the wisest of elders.
Society led by the most knowledgeable and strongest leaders. Fights will be won in both scenarios.
Things will go well when the head is strong and capable. I don't believe it ends there though.
I have incredible parents, in school I'd say my teachers were good, perhaps a few of them did better than others. The perfect human example has been placed in my life in the form of Jesus. Not that I like to call it religion but The Bible has been placed in my life to follow. I'm trying to say that, the hand I've been dealt is great, but by some standards, I'm not doing so great with it.
I'm not saying i'm doing an awful job, I could be a lot "worse" off than where I am now with my life. What I'm thinking about is what about the other people, who are 19, who have already been to foreign countries doing things that really matter to them and that are effecting the entire world. Yes, yes I've been to mexico on a mission trip, but I went because it was cool, not because I was trying to forward Jesus. There are people who have taken the time to master a skill, one of the arts, some 19 year olds are fighting big issues like abortion and are well on there way to be politicians to make our society a little bit better. It's my understanding that people have read the whole bible and memorized huge chunks of the bible in months. I've been a "Christian" my whole life and haven't done either in my 19 years.
What I want to get at is the fact that, no matter how great or seemingly perfect things can seem, with a great leader or upbringing it's a choice to become great. It's work to chose God every day; work that's worth it, but nonetheless, work.
If you want to do great things, work for them, strive for them, dream of them, but gosh darn it fight for them now and not later.
Dear Jesus, I miss you.
