Episode 45: Lion or Lamb - Part 4 - How and When to Follow

We’ve often been told that men need to be the alpha. And this of course, relates to the idea that we need to be the most aggressive wolf (or lion) in the pack (or pride).

They tell us to show now mercy, to build and demonstrate strength. To strive to lead at all costs.

I don’t buy into the whole “alpha male” nonsense.

What are we, animals?

No. We are men! And men come in different strokes and sizes.

If the whole pack of wolves was alpha… You know the pack would die right?

There are different roles in the pack.

And we are supposed to be better then the animals…. And they already know that everyone can’t be alpha!

Sometimes, we need to live aggressively. Sometimes we need to lead the pack. But sometimes, we need to follow, to obey, to submit. To show compassion, to show mercy, to show love.

Honestly, I think what we need more on this planet is more men that know when to lead, and when to follow.

I think what we need in this world are men who don’t think of themselves higher than they are. Men who have the strength to fight and conquer, but the self-control to know when not to.

Men who know when to lead and when to follow.
