Monday Prompt: What is your relationship with authority? How have you challenged the status quo?

I just read Dan Catalin piece on authority and thought maybe I should do the same. Even though I've been ruminating over it since 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘊. dropped this prompt on my confused laps.

If there be anyone who’s asserted authority over me and was successful, that would be my father. sadly he is no more. If I hold any wish to see him again, it would be for two reasons; First, tell him I missed him. Secondly, get a chance to at least tell him one single NO. So that he does not remain the father who his son never told NO.

“No man can be a man until his father has died.” — Jordan Peterson

Indeed I was freed from the shackles of dictatorship disguised as well-intended love. I do not resent him, not one bit. But in retrospect, he taught me how to be a man in his own way. We never impart above our means. We give only what we have.

I was free to go my own way after his passing. Although everything he taught me remained, my mind was free to finally think for itself. To look within me and decide what path I want for myself. What ideas or discipline is right for me.

My opened mind, rightly divided his teachings, expounding on them and coming up with my own conclusion. Be a student, not a following, Jim Rohn advised, and thus I did.

Good things for rulers that men do not think. — Hitler

I’ve always been sceptical about power and authority because no matter how high it may appear to be, it is nothing but a glorified mortal. And what is mortally more dangerous than that?

Africans are where they are today, because for many reasons. Among them is, we are a bunch of dark-skinned folks who deify fellow humans; politicians, religious leaders and entertainment superstars.

To bump head with authority is to think first, but the problem is thinking is hard work. That’s why very few people do it. To challenge authority is to have the intellectual capacity to first, be aware of one’s own innate cosmic authority, as a divine being. Wonder why leaders never run out of followers?

To think is freedom, and to challenge authority is in itself, power.

Just like Melanie J., I am a rebel at heart. I will challenge anything that's off or doesn't make sense or that oppresses.

Nevertheless, the authority that doth not exploit, oppress nor deceive, will I respect and acknowledge.

This is in response to 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘊. Monday prompt: What is your relationship with authority? How have you challenged the status quo?
