Challenge Authority!

I have a problem with authority, and I don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. Its not that I don't respect authority, its just that every time I feel somethings not right I feel I have to say something.

I was never brought up to keep quiet about anything. My mother taught me at a young age how to be a rebel, but she didn't know. She always told me to speak my mind and not to be afraid of who I am talking to as far as I am speaking the truth, and most importantly speaking my mind.

The thing with authority is the people, they are humans too! Most times they are right about certain things, after all its their wisdom and/or knowledge that got them there in the first place but at the same time they tend to over do it just a little bit. Being in authority is a sort of euphoria for most folks, and like anything so potent the urge to over-do .. sets in.

I think the work of people who dare to challenge authority or dare to open their 'mind' to speak, is to remind those in authority that there is always someone out there just as wise or as smart as they are, Or even better! It keeps them grounded.

Never be afraid to challenge authority, never be afraid to speak your mind, but make sure you are not standing on loose soil while doing it.
