Some people are ‘born leaders’, while others are more comfortable following along behind.  Both sorts of people have a place in a balanced society. Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult these days to see anyone who can really command our respect.

As a result, many people feel lost, without a worth-while ‘role-model’ on which to base their own life and our path through life is full of twists and turns.  Those in authority, who may seem trustworthy, often turn out to have ‘feet of clay’.
