Are you a leader or a follower?

And guess what? So are most of us.

There might be people out there who think they are cutting their own path, blazing their own trail, answering to no one, and that’s fine.

You go on thinking that. Because, from where I’m sitting, most of us answer to someone.

Work for a company? You probably have a boss.

Own a company? You answer to the customer. Or the government. Or both.

Unemployed? You answer to the state every week or two to keep that check rolling in.

Live in a city or town? You answer to them by observing the laws they put forth.

But like anything else, there is degrees to it. A Private in the Army is answerable to a lot more people than a 5-star general. Pretty much everyone can tell a Private what to do.

Can you be more of one than the other? Of course. But that’s true of a lot of things in life. There’s degrees, shades and all that good stuff.

Now, if you live off grid in the mountains and whittled your cabin out of a piece of wheat, you might be able to claim you answer to no one. If so, please disregard the above, as it clearly is not meant for you.

Peace, all.

    1. It really is one of, if not the only, way to really say you don’t answer to anyone but mother nature. Beyond that, not much options.

  4. Haha, love the humorous take on it!
    You’ve summed up the reality of life’s interconnectedness pretty well.
    Even the most independent souls still find themselves entwined in various webs of responsibility and influence. Peace to you too my friend.!
