It was a troubling time..a Time of Recession..Prices UP.. Employment Down.. RUNAWAY INFLATION,, Rumors,,MOSTLY LIES,, abounded in the quest for answers,, Manufacturing and Industry a shell of what they once were..SOME called it a DEPRESSION..Others argued that it would SOON pass..It was WORLDWIDE but FEW people KNEW of this..THEY were told that it was Local..That their problems were the result of Faulty Leadership,, that they were the victims of Lies..
Seemingly out of nowhere there arose a Figure of Inspiration who preached the message of change..He spoke of the nation’s past Greatnesses and promised a Change that would RESTORE that Greatness..He spoke of the problems and IDENTIFIED the Villians while PROMISING that HE and HE alone had the answers and the solutions..
And the people Listened..
His speeches were mesmerizing,, his Manner Confident.. His demeanor demanded,, and received,, Adoration and Inspiration from the masses whenever and wherever he spoke.. MANY would gladly DIE for him.. NONE questioned his Leadership abilities and NONE questioned WHERE he was leading them and in the end,,they PAID a DEAR and HEAVY PRICE for that..
The Place,,Germany..The TIME,,,, the Thirties ..The Leader,,Adolph Hitler..
And we ALL know the rest of THAT story..
Leadership is NOT nearly so important to know as IS the DESTINATION..It is a Lesson that HISTORY teaches time and time again…
Great Governments do NOT make a GREAT Nation OR a GREAT People..
Great PEOPLE make a GOVERNMENT Great and THAT is the ESSENCE of a GREAT NATION..
