RE: Authority, Authorship and Authenticity in Life

in #authority7 years ago

The reality of life, we know a lot of things are not right but we follow blindly. People often deny themselves the privilege of living right.
Being authentic, real and genuine, is to be the author of our own life, in alignment with reality and principled living, which maximizes accomplishing of our goals in reality.

The world has changed from being real and living authentic to trying to live someone else's life and working towards accomplishing other people's goals instead of theirs.

A person who teaches the authority of morality as the way of living, that anyone else can verify in their own life, is someone to pay attention to (but not blindly follow). People will recognize this person understands reality, what to do, and how to live.

This has always been the African way which our culture teaches, we lives our lives base on the morals of well respected individuals which the people follows .

They gain credibility, reputation and respect for their understanding of reality. This is how natural leaders are formed. This is how people can be influenced into seeing morality and doing the right things. This is wisdom, for wisdom is phio-sophia, the love wisdom which is how to engage in right-actions, not wrong actions.

For socrate understanding reality and gained reputation through then he was able to breed good students like Aristotle who followed his steps to actualize those reality

People need to follow the teaching to verify it, not simply follow the teacher ;)
