Everything Depends on Who Leads

The Stigma Of Those Destined For Doom (II)

Alpha Leadership by Neculai Fantanaru

Try to redefine your identity, justifying your existence through a self-discipline that bear the consequences of your actions.

A single opponent continues to stay more and more far away from Anton Chigurh: the self-control. He finds nowhere an outlet to let loose the cruelty of his icy soul. Only the tracks of blood he left free him, renewing the reason of his existence, like any other assassin. An awful chil gushes from inside him like a hemorrhage; his whole ambition is reinforced in a single layer of mortar. The gun with silencer discharges again its lead in everything that comes in its sight. Another poor innocent is always marked.

The light of change settles on the horizon. Sometimes, the occasional injuries threaten his life, engraving deep and compact shadows in his thoughts. This light makes him an unfinished silhouette in the workshop of the world and the events that shelter him as a doomed to a longer penitence. But he is not allowed to commune. Conscience alone must resurge in him and punish him severely. What conscience? Where should it spring from?

The black, thick curtains from the window of his world adjusts as necessary the dim light of change, reducing to a few beams the penetration of the rays of humanity – more and more illusory. This distribution of light and shadow, life and death, becomes purely decorative for him, it can always stop and recompose.

Being an assassin in this world where nothing is perfect, attracting fatality as a high power magnet is, for Anton Chigurh, the best form of redemption. To always have a gun with you, and within you, a deeply winged demon – the will to kill unhindered. There is the great discrepancy between essence and belonging, between what you are and what you should be. *

Can you resist falling into the void, in relation to the expectations of a destination of contrasts between force and fragility that surprisingly unusual?

How does the power to impose yourself needs to be used, with all its features and all the basic pillars of your character, so as to be free from any moral constraints? The same way that you can reject all the authority arguments that do not sustain your ideas to redefine identity, giving reasons for your existence through a self-discipline which becomes aware of the consequences that may result from your actions on a social level.

That means to intensively cultivate all your resources, to act so as to become aware of the need to be compatible with a reality where lack of direction has the supreme saying. Bringing a plus in your life does not mean you surrender to "fading", but resist falling into the void, in relation to the expectations corresponding to a destination of contrasts between force and fragility that surprisingly unusual.

The power of man is given by the feeling of uniqueness arising from the impulse to change, while fragility is a sentiment springing from the profound understanding of the composition of life and from the magical faith in a just world. The contrasts of these two entities surprise through the unusual when an action leaves behind a mark that is tough to erase, a memory that relates to the judgment that God sets up for you if you commit the sin of believing yourself better than others.

Here we refer mainly to the contrast between the deep and surface structures, which must make the best from each other, not cancel each other for each reset of the limits challenging your character. The deep structure is given on what makes you feel special, helping you evolve in a right direction. While the surface structure is given by everything that surrounds, runs through and enslaves you, that hatred of howling wolves, the chaos between reality and delusion, that false link between people, that inequality of opportunities.

Are you able to give meaning to the concept of "reorienting the compass of life" that you set according to what you want to emphasize in a orienting way in confronting the limits of your own consciousness?

The leadership's priority is the entrance into a zone without "turbulence", an area where man perceives the difference between good and evil, between light and darkness, through a redefinition of its existence. Someone made a sound confession on a website: "The confrontation between the solitary and anguished man with Evil becomes a Faustian meeting of brutality and inequality of forces against which alternatives simplify and reduce to the utmost extent."

So, leadership can be canceled by the very motivation of man, by the very contradiction between his feelings and the perceptions about his condition, which facilitate the entrance into a dark area, accompanied by a deep restlessness. Man can be relevant to the concept of "reorienting the compass of life" when he renews his rationale to react to the events that mark him, by reconsidering the role he plays in directing the destiny of other people.

In order to be unique in what you give and in what you leave behind, you do not need to interfere with the preset order of the world, threatening it. But try to integrate into its reality, without appealing to personality extensions put on a single fundamental line: the gain obtained by removing others, even if you bump on their disapproval. In a sense, fatality, like personal guilt, has a set of very compact experiential education and orientation as their starting point.

Personality acquires other nuances that can be understood and foreseen only when you are calm and rational. The experience sensors must compress a huge amount of human variability around a central axis: tackling prejudices and eliminating false thinking patterns. Leadership acquires the significance of man through the effective management of the power of healing morally and spiritually by assuming full existence, by covering all possible hypostases.

The gray routine of existence often echoes a wave of wisdom, a state of inspiration, a specific call towards your true being, or towards something higher, which you need to consider in order to convince yourself of your own opening or grimness, your own superiority or inferiority in front of the mirrors where you see yourself.

In confronting the limits of one’s own consciousness, man can highlight the inevitable fear of failure or the sense of disorientation that makes him perceived either as a labyrinth from which he can no longer come out from alive, or as a final point of reflection that can clarify his existence.

The Stigma Of Those Destined For Doom captures that uncertain area of experience which excludes the need to renew your mentality and spirituality, making it difficult to see what it means to be evolutionary.

Let us remember the words of writer Colin Turner: "Pitfalls help you: that is how you find out if you really want what you think you want, if you really follow the urging of heart and if you really are worthy of what it leads you to achieve."
